Somerset Maugham at his Villa Mauresque. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1954.
Novelist Somerset Maugham is captured in a moment of contemplation at his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1954. Dressed in a light-colored suit jacket and patterned tie, he sits in an ornate, high-backed chair. The well-appointed room features a large painting in a gilded frame and an elaborate baroque mirror above a console table. The table, supported by a carved sea creature, is adorned with two horse sculptures reminiscent of ancient Chinese art.
