Somerset Maugham with his dog George. Villa Mauresque, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1960.

In the garden of his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, writer Somerset Maugham shares a tender moment with his dachshund, George, in 1960. Seated in a wicker chair and wearing a soft beige cardigan, Maugham looks down with gentle affection at the dog cradled in his arms. The black-and-tan dachshund lies comfortably on its back in the author’s lap, paws in the air, gazing upward. Maugham’s aged hands rest on his companion, capturing a scene of peace and contentment against a backdrop of lush, colorful foliage.
