Somerset Maugham at his Villa Mauresque. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1962.
Photographed at his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in 1962, the writer Somerset Maugham regards the camera with a serious, direct expression. In this tightly framed portrait, side lighting accentuates the deep wrinkles of his face and the rich textures of his tweed overcoat, patterned shirt, and striped tie. The out-of-focus background suggests the villa’s gardens, casting the subject in sharp relief.
