Max Ernst in the garden of her house at Seillans 1966. He holds the painting Schmetterling-Steuerzahler (papillon contribuable), for which he has used a piece of wallpaper, a flybat and a note from the income tax officer concerning his income tax return.

In the garden of his Seillans home in 1966, Max Ernst presents his collage "Schmetterling-Steuerzahler" (papillon contribuable). Dressed in a light V-neck sweater, the artist sits on a bench before a rough stone wall, holding the work for the camera with a direct gaze. The piece incorporates unconventional materials, including a strip of floral wallpaper, a flybat, and a notice from the income tax officer. The bright sunlight casts distinct shadows on the wall and the gnarled, leafless branches of the trees behind him.
