Jean Cocteau, making a drawing for the 6th Cannes Film Festival. Cannes 1953.

Jean Cocteau, seen in profile, works on a drawing for the 6th Cannes Film Festival in 1953. His expression is one of deep concentration as he stands before a large vertical surface, clad in a light-colored work smock and holding a piece of chalk. Faint lettering on the board, including "CANADA" and "TOUR", suggests he is creating a large sign or poster for the event. A small table with paint cans and brushes to his right completes this quiet, candid glimpse into the creative process.
