Jean Cocteau with his mosaic at Villa Santo Sospir. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1952.

Jean Cocteau, clad in a white bathrobe, sits on a low stone ledge beside an entrance to the Villa Santo Sospir in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1952. He looks directly at the camera with a contemplative expression. In the foreground, one of his own intricate tile mosaics dominates the ground. The striking black-and-white design features a central circular pattern resembling two stylized faces, from which a serpentine line leads toward the doorway where the artist is perched.
