During the foundation stone ceremony for the Musée Fernand Léger in Biot on 24 February 1957, a group of men in formal overcoats gathers around the ceremonial block. From left, art dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler stands beside gallery owner Aimé Maeght. They are joined by Maurice Thorez and Marcel Cachin, editor of the newspaper *L'Humanité*, both of whom are supported by walking sticks. The men form a semi-circle looking down at the large stone, upon which rests a mason's hammer, as a crowd of onlookers observes from the background.
