"Dans les rues d'Athènes" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

Max Ernst's whimsical metal sculpture, "Dans les rues d'Athènes," stands in the garden of the second house he shared with Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, 1975. The dark, totem-like figure, with its blocky body and square head, is set against a rough stone wall covered in bare vines. Two smaller, playful figures are attached to the central form: a humanoid figure is perched on the main head, while a stylized creature clings to its lower body, holding a small plaque with a face on it. The weathered artwork contrasts with the rustic texture of its surroundings.
