Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in the garden of her house at Seillans 1966. He holds the painting Schmetterling-Steuerzahler (papillon contribuable), for which he has used a piece of wallpaper, a flybat and a note from the income tax officer concerning his income tax return.

In the garden of his wife Dorothea Tanning's house at Seillans, Max Ernst sits on a metal bench, 1966. He smiles warmly as he holds up his collage *Schmetterling-Steuerzahler* (*Papillon Contribuable*), an assemblage created from a piece of wallpaper, a fly swatter, and a note from the income tax officer. Gnarled trees are trained against the weathered stone wall behind him, casting distinct shadows in the bright sunlight.
