George Simenon at his Villa Golden Gate. Cannes 1955.

The writer George Simenon, a pipe in his mouth, squats by an ornate fountain in the courtyard of his Villa Golden Gate in Cannes, 1955. He dips his fingers into the scalloped stone basin, which sits within a larger octagonal pool bordered by intricate mosaic tiles. Behind him, the villa’s loggia, with its rough-textured stone arches, reveals a large pastoral mural.
