At the foundation stone ceremony for the Musée Fernand Léger in Biot on 24 February 1957, a group of men in formal overcoats gathers around the ceremonial block. From left are art dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler and gallerist Aimé Maeght. They are joined by Maurice Thorez and Marcel Cachin, editor of the newspaper *L'Humanité*, who both lean on walking sticks. The men stand on the gravel-covered ground, their attention focused on the rough-hewn stone with a small hammer resting upon it as a crowd looks on from behind.
