Somerset Maugham with his dog George. Villa Mauresque, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1960.

Writer Somerset Maugham shares an intimate moment with his dark, smooth-coated dachshund, George. Photographed in profile at his home, the Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in 1960, Maugham looks down at the dog with a gentle smile. Wearing a light-colored cardigan with a handkerchief in his breast pocket, he cradles the contented dachshund in his lap as it gazes up at him. The black and white image captures the quiet affection between the man and his pet against a softly blurred garden backdrop.
