Sculpture "Capricorne" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1974.

Max Ernst’s sculpture "Capricorne" is silhouetted against a bright sky in the garden of the home he shared with Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, 1974. The high-contrast, black and white composition emphasizes the abstract forms of its two stylized figures seated on a large block. The angular figure on the left holds a tall staff, while the more slender figure to its right reclines. The artwork rests on a plinth atop a rough stone wall, with the sun visible as a glowing orb.
