"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 on a flagstone patio in the sunlit garden of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning’s second house in Seillans, 1975. The tall, dark, stylized figure has a smooth, elongated body with a slight twist, contrasting with its rough, bell-shaped base. In the bright sunlight, the sculpture casts a distinct shadow of its head onto a narrow evergreen tree, while a terracotta pot with white flowers rests by a nearby stone wall.
