"Capricorne" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

Max Ernst's sculpture "Capricorne," photographed in 1975 in the garden of the second house he shared with Dorothea Tanning in Seillans. The large modernist work, composed of two abstract seated figures on a rough-hewn stone plinth, overlooks a sprawling valley. The blocky figure on the left holds a staff, while its more slender companion has a long neck and an animal-like head. A smaller sculptural head rests on a low wall in the foreground.
