Somerset Maugham and his secretary and companion Alan Searle playing cards at Villa Mauresque. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1960.

At his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Somerset Maugham sits at a card table, 1960. Dressed in a tweed jacket and waistcoat, the writer looks up from his cards toward his secretary and companion, Alan Searle. Standing behind him, Searle leans forward in a dark turtleneck sweater and looks directly at the camera. The quiet, contemplative scene is captured within the classic interior of the villa, with several small stacks of cards laid out on the table between them.
