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

In his studio in Seillans in 1966, Max Ernst is captured working on his painting "Schwalbennest." Framed by a dark doorway, the artist stands intently focused, leaning over the large surface which rests on two sawhorses. Wearing glasses and a V-neck sweater, he holds a tool poised in his right hand, his left on his hip. The brightly lit studio, with its white walls and exposed wooden beams, is filled with natural light from a window, casting long shadows across the tiled floor. Other canvases leaning nearby contribute to the atmosphere of quiet concentration.
