Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in the gardens of her house at Seillans, 1966. Ernst, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, holds his painting *Schmetterling-Steuerzahler* (*papillon contribuable*), created with wallpaper, a flybat, and a tax notice. Beside him, a smiling Tanning balances a woven wicker stool on her head. In the sunlit yard, leafless, espaliered trees are trained into intricate shapes against a rough stone wall.
