Somerset Maugham sits on a stone fountain at his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1954. Dressed in a light-colored jacket and dark trousers, he poses with his legs crossed as water flows from a carved lion's head into a shallow pool. The lush setting, with its rugged rocks and a tall cypress, is part of the world-renowned artistic garden he began creating after purchasing the property in 1926.
