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

A stylized, abstract humanoid sculpture in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, 1975. Crafted from light-colored, rough-hewn stone, the figure stands on a circular base set in gravel. Its head is a tall cylinder with a conical, hat-like top, while its simple face features two circular holes for eyes and a wide, slit-like mouth. The body, composed of blocky, geometric shapes, is set against the high contrast of a dense, dark hedge, making the light stone prominent in the frame.
