Jean Cocteau, Edouard Dermit, Francine Weisweiller during filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée", film of Jean Cocteau. On the balcony Alberto Magnelli, Pablo Picasso, Renato Guttuso. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1959.

During the 1959 filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée" in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a surreal scene unfolds. Director Jean Cocteau stands with Francine Weisweiller, who is attired in a frilly period dress with a parasol. In the foreground, Edouard Dermit kneels wearing an animal mask and polka-dot swim trunks. Observing the bizarre tableau from the ivy-draped balcony above are artists Alberto Magnelli, Pablo Picasso, and Renato Guttuso.
