Max Ernst's tools at his studio. With an African tribal art mask. Paris 1974.

An African tribal art mask hangs as the centerpiece on a wall in Max Ernst's Paris studio, 1974. The mask, with its patterned circular head and a long, two-pronged neck, is surrounded by an eclectic collection of the artist’s neatly arranged tools, including trowels, hammers, pliers, and a set square. A dark jacket hangs to the left, while circular sculptural elements are visible to the right. Below, leaning against a radiator, are wooden panels and dark glass bottles.
