Jean Cocteau, Edouard Dermit during filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée", film of Jean Cocteau. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1959.

On the set of his film 'Le Testament d’Orphée' in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1959, director Jean Cocteau dons a white skull mask. Dressed in a light-colored suit, he stands opposite actor Edouard Dermit, who wears a cardigan and extends his open palm towards Cocteau in a theatrical gesture. Between them, a small table covered with a fringed cloth holds a single dark flower, contributing to the surreal atmosphere of the scene.
