Nadia Léger, wearing a dark fur coat and a small hat, smiles as she strikes the foundation stone of the future Musée Fernand Léger with a hammer. During the ceremony in Biot on 24 February 1957, a crowd of onlookers in formal winter attire watches from behind her. Prominent in the group are gallerist Aimé Maeght, Maurice Thorez, and Marcel Cachin, editor of *L'Humanité*, who stands with a white moustache and bowler hat, leaning on a walking stick.
