Somerset Maugham and his secretary and companion Alan Searle. Villa Mauresque. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1960.

The writer Somerset Maugham, right, stands beside his secretary and companion Alan Searle at the Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1960. Maugham, elderly and deeply wrinkled, wears a textured jacket and dark scarf, his figure illuminated by a window. Searle, positioned before a crowded bookshelf, looks towards the camera with a somber expression. The contrast between the bright window and the dark, book-lined interior lends a contemplative mood to the black and white portrait.
