Somerset Maugham at his at Villa Mauresque. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1953.

At his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Somerset Maugham sits for a formal portrait in 1953. With a pensive expression, the writer is seated in a large, ornate armchair, his hands clasped in his lap. He is dressed in a textured tweed suit jacket with a white pocket square. Dramatic side lighting from a nearby window illuminates one side of his face, casting the other in deep shadow. In the foreground, a pair of eyeglasses rests on the surface of a large wooden desk, enhancing the contemplative mood of the scene.
