Somerset Maugham at his Villa Mauresque. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1962.

The writer Somerset Maugham is captured in a contemplative close-up at his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1962. Dramatic side-lighting illuminates one half of his face, highlighting the deep wrinkles and furrows that convey a lifetime of experience, while leaving the other half in soft shadow. His deep-set eyes hold a serious expression as he looks toward the viewer, dressed in a textured jacket over a checked shirt and a striped tie. Against a dark, blurred background, Maugham is the sole focus of the portrait.
