Max Ernst's sculpture "Le Roi Jouant Avec La Reine," photographed in 1975 in the garden of the home he shared with Dorothea Tanning in Seillans. The stylized, dark metal figure features a hollow, rectangular head with large, crescent-shaped horns. It stands behind a flat surface holding abstract, sculpted game pieces, its thin, angular arm resting on the largest one. The entire work is mounted on a rough stone pedestal before a rustic, ivy-covered wall.
