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

At his home, the Villa Mauresque, Somerset Maugham is seated before a game resembling solitaire, his deeply lined face turned to the camera with a contemplative expression. Dressed in a tweed jacket and scarf, the writer holds a single card. Standing behind him and leaning forward is his secretary and companion, Alan Searle, who offers a gentle smile. The quiet, personal moment is captured in a well-appointed room in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in 1960.
