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

At his Villa Mauresque in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Somerset Maugham is served breakfast in bed, 1954. An attendant in a white jacket approaches with a silver tray as the author, propped against pillows with a bed tray over his lap, holds a pen or cigarette holder. The quiet, intimate scene unfolds in a well-appointed bedroom, distinguished by a tall, ornate bookcase filled with books and a large, gilded mirror.
