Stage of "L'oiseau Janus" ("Vogel Janus"). At Max Ernst's studio. Paris 1974.

A stage in the creation of Max Ernst’s "L'oiseau Janus" ("Vogel Janus") is captured on his cluttered workbench in Paris, 1974. An overhead view reveals a yellow bowl with a silver mold and a frog figurine. Nearby, a box holds plaster casts of a stylized face and a seashell, while a notebook displays other small sculptures, including a blue turtle. Paintbrushes, a ruler, and scraps of paper are scattered across the surface, caught in the harsh light that casts deep shadows.
