Max Ernst in the garden of his home with "La fête à Seillans"), 1964. and on the table the first version of "Der letzte Wald" ("La dernière forêt"), 1960-1969. Seillans 1966.

In the garden of his Seillans home in 1966, a white-haired Max Ernst sits with a serious expression, looking directly at the camera. He is flanked by two of his works. To his left, resting on the grass, is the light-colored canvas "La fête à Seillans" (1964). To his right, displayed on an ornate stand, is the first version of the darker, heavily textured abstract painting "Der letzte Wald" ("La dernière forêt," 1960-1969). The background consists of a rustic dry-stone wall and the bare branches of dormant trees.
