"An Anxious Friend" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

Max Ernst's sculpture "An Anxious Friend" rests on a weathered stone wall in the garden of his and Dorothea Tanning's house in Seillans, 1975. The vaguely anthropomorphic piece is composed of dark, metallic, geometric forms. Its blocky, seated figure features a rectangular head, a plate-like headdress, and a larger plate behind its neck, resembling a throne. The sculpture is kept in sharp focus, contrasting with the soft, out-of-focus cypress tree and hazy hills of the landscape behind it.
