Stage of "L'oiseau Janus" ("Vogel Janus"). At Max Ernst's studio. Paris 1974.

In Max Ernst's Paris studio in 1974, his workbench reveals various stages of the sculpture "L'oiseau Janus." Captured from above, the cluttered surface is covered with tools, materials, and small plaster figures. A mixing bowl contains a frog mold, while finished casts—including a turtle with a patterned shell, a stylized shell, and a round duck face—are scattered about. The scene provides a glimpse into the artist's process of casting and sculpting small objects for the final composition.
