"Un chinois égaré" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

The artwork "Un chinois égaré" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, 1975. The heavy, dark, rectangular object, resembling a water fountain with a spigot and handle, stands centrally against a rough-hewn stone wall. Delicate vines with small leaves spread across the textured surface, their dark lines contrasting with the light-colored stone. To the lower right, a circular drain cover with an intricate latticework pattern is set into the wall, completing the scene’s rich interplay of textures.
