Breakfast in bed. Somerset Maugham at his Villa Mauresque. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1954

Writer Somerset Maugham is served breakfast in bed at his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1954. Propped against pillows in a patterned dressing gown, he observes as an attendant in a white jacket pours a beverage from a silver pitcher. A newspaper rests on the blanket of the ornate bed. The well-appointed room features a tall bookcase filled with leather-bound volumes and a classical statue beside the headboard.
