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

In Max Ernst's Paris studio in 1974, a high-angle view captures a stage in the creation of "L'oiseau Janus" ("Vogel Janus"). On the cluttered workbench, a mixing bowl holds a mold with a frog relief among various tools. Small cast figurines—a stylized frog, a shell, and a detailed turtle—are scattered nearby. To the right, an open box contains a white figure with an owl-like face and a seashell for a body, revealing the artist's active creative process.
