Somerset Maugham plays with Chin, one of his two Pekingese, at his Villa Mauresque. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1954.

At his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Somerset Maugham is on his hands and knees on a patterned runner rug, playing with his Pekingese, Chin. The writer, wearing a tweed jacket, leans forward and reaches a hand towards the small dog, who stands on the tiled floor looking intently at Maugham's hand and a toy between them. This candid moment from 1954 takes place in a well-appointed hallway, with a heavy wooden chest and decorative urns visible to the right.
