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

An abstract sculpture stands in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, 1975. Composed of stacked geometric shapes in concrete or light-colored stone, the artwork forms a stylized head and bust on a weathered plinth. The blocky head is defined by a wedge-like nose, deep-set circular eyes, and a smooth, dome-like cap. The sculpture's light, solid form is set against a backdrop of dense, dark foliage.
