Max Ernst. Behind him the painting "Tremblement de terre printanier". Seillans 1966.

In his studio in Seillans, 1966, Max Ernst sits with a calm, gentle expression. Dressed in a paint-splattered blue work jacket over a dark, patterned button-down shirt, he holds a cylindrical object. Directly behind him is his large abstract painting, "Tremblement de terre printanier," its textured teal-green background covered in a network of dark, swirling lines and patches of yellow. To the right, another surface displays horizontal bands of color, while a portion of a wooden easel is visible in the lower left.
