A table at the studio of Max Ernst. Seillans 1974.

A high-angle view captures Max Ernst's worktable in his Seillans studio, 1974. The wooden surface is almost entirely covered with a chaotic but compelling array of objects, attesting to intense creative activity. Papers, letters, and astronomical images, including depictions of Saturn, form a dense layer. Scattered among them are paintbrushes, pencils, and a small hammer, alongside natural items like dried leaves and the distinct spiral of a cut nautilus shell. The heavily scarred and stained tabletop is visible only in small patches.
