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

A working stage of Max Ernst’s sculpture 'L’oiseau Janus,' photographed in his Paris studio in 1974. The plaster-like figurine, featuring a stylized head and a body shaped like a scallop shell, rests in a cardboard box upon a cluttered workbench. The high-angle shot captures the creative disarray of tools and materials, starkly illuminated by a harsh light that casts deep shadows across the surface.
