Francine Weisweiller and "L'homme chien" (Guy Dute and Jean-Claude Petit). During filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée", film of Jean Cocteau. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1959.
On the set of Jean Cocteau's film "Le Testament d’Orphée," Francine Weisweiller stands in elaborate 19th-century attire, holding a parasol. In the background of the garden, Guy Dute and Jean-Claude Petit, as the character "L'homme chien," wear only polka-dotted loincloths. One wears a large, animal-like mask while the other leans over, laughing. The high-contrast composition creates a surreal juxtaposition between the figures. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1959.
