Max Ernst working on the painting "Schwalbennest". Seillans 1966.

In his Seillans studio in 1966, Max Ernst leans over a large wooden trestle table, deeply concentrated on his painting "Schwalbennest." Dressed in a thick, V-neck knit sweater, the white-haired artist presses down with both hands, moving a tool across the surface of the expansive artwork. The rustic room, with its white walls and exposed wooden beams, is illuminated by soft, natural light, capturing a quiet and focused moment of artistic creation.
