Max Ernst in the garden of her house at Seillans 1966. He holds the painting Schmetterling-Steuerzahler (papillon contribuable), for which he has used a piece of wallpaper, a flybat and a note from the income tax officer concerning his income tax return.

In the garden of his home in Seillans, 1966, Max Ernst presents his collage *Schmetterling-Steuerzahler* (The Taxpayer Butterfly). Seated on a metal-legged table, he holds the work, which incorporates a piece of wallpaper, a flybat, and an income tax notice. Dressed in a V-neck sweater, Ernst looks directly at the camera, framed by the stark, gnarled branches of bare trees against a rustic stone wall.
