Sculpture in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

In the garden of the Seillans home of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning, a modernist stone sculpture stands against a backdrop of dark evergreen trees in 1975. The stylized humanoid figure features a cylindrical head with a conical hat, a single hollowed-out circular eye, and a protruding nose. A wide, bowl-like collar separates the head from the abstract, blocky lower body, which rests on a circular base. Sunlight from the left highlights the chiseled texture of the stone and casts distinct shadows on the surrounding gravel and grass.
