Max Ernst working on the painting "Schwalbennest" ("Un nid d'hirondelle", "A Swallow's Nest") 1966. Seillans 1966.

In his Seillans studio in 1966, Max Ernst stands over his painting "Schwalbennest" ("A Swallow's Nest"), which lies on a large table. With thinning white hair and a serious, direct gaze, the artist is captured mid-process, wearing a knitted V-neck sweater over a collared shirt. The artwork before him reveals a complex web of fine, incised lines over a dark background. The scene, illuminated by a bright window, is one of quiet creativity, with art supplies and canvases visible in the background.
