Somerset Maugham and his servants at Villa Mauresque. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1954.

At his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1954, writer Somerset Maugham poses with five members of his household staff. Dressed in a dark dinner jacket, Maugham stands on the first step of the staircase, hands in his pockets and seemingly in mid-conversation with the uniformed group assembled in the foyer. They look toward the author, some smiling, near the decorative wrought-iron railing of the staircase. A statue is visible in the background, and a patterned rug covers the polished floor.
