"La plus belle" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

The sculpture 'La plus belle' stands in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, 1975. The tall, stylized human figure features a flat, circular disc for a head and an abstract, curving torso. Its smooth upper section contrasts with the rough, heavily textured conical base. Positioned on a paved surface between a coniferous tree and a hedge, the work is set against a manicured lawn under bright sunlight, which casts distinct shadows.
