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

The abstract metal sculpture "Un chinois égaré" stands against a textured stone wall in the garden of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning's second house in Seillans, 1975. The dark work features a rectangular body with a large, raised circular element resembling a face. Near the base, a smaller piece composed of a large nut and bolt juts out. The sculpture rests on a floor of irregular flagstones next to an ornate, circular drain cover, as thin vines creep up the wall.
