Georges Simenon at his desk. Villa Golden Gate, Cannes 1955.

Writer Georges Simenon sits in profile at his desk in the Villa Golden Gate, Cannes, 1955. Deeply engrossed in his work, he holds a pipe from which plumes of smoke curl upwards. His hands are positioned over the keys of a vintage typewriter, its carriage holding a small, typed paper. The desk is cluttered with the tools of his trade: a lamp casting a soft glow, a container of sharpened pencils, and an open folder.
