Sculpture "Capricorne" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1974.

In the sunlit garden of the Seillans home of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning, Ernst's monumental sculpture "Capricorne" stands on a rough stone plinth, 1974. The complex, surrealist work is composed of several figures: a central form with bull-like horns, another extending an arm to hold a staff, and a third, reminiscent of a guitar, topped by a bird-like head. A tall cypress tree rises beside the sculpture, with the rolling hills of the French countryside visible in the distance.
