W. Somerset Maugham plays with Chin, one of his two Pekingese, at his Villa Mauresque. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1954.

In a long hallway of his Villa Mauresque, W. Somerset Maugham shares a quiet, affectionate moment with Chin, one of his two Pekingese dogs. Seated cross-legged on a patterned runner, the author leans forward with a fond, amused expression as the small dog lies on its stomach, looking up at him. Daylight streams through large, curtained windows, illuminating the well-appointed interior with its dark wooden chest and decorative urns. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1954.
