"Le Roi Jouant Avec La Reine" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

Max Ernst’s sculpture "Le Roi Jouant Avec La Reine" stands before a weathered stone wall in the garden of the second house he shared with Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, 1975. The dark, abstract horned figure is stylized with a blocky head and a slender torso. Its long arms are bent, with hands resting on a flat surface holding small, abstract game pieces, its left hand cupped around a larger, more ornate one.
