On the grounds of "Les Collettes," Auguste Renoir's former home in Cagnes-sur-Mer, cast and crew gather for the filming of Jean Renoir’s “Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe” in 1959. In a rustic clearing, a shirtless crew member adjusts a large color calibration chart, drawing the attention of surrounding actors and technicians. To the right, actresses in period dresses stand observing the scene, while a Citroën DS is parked in the background among the trees.
