Somerset Maugham and Alan Searle listening to Mozart's Symphonie No 10. Villa Mauresque. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1954.

At his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, author Somerset Maugham sits in profile in an ornate, high-backed armchair, listening to Mozart's Symphonie No. 10. His companion, Alan Searle, kneels on a patterned rug before a console record player, examining an album cover while others are spread on the floor. Dressed in dark velvet jackets, the two share a quiet, intimate moment of musical enjoyment. 1954.
