Jean Cocteau and his adopted son Edouard "Doudou" Dermit during filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée". Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1959.

In an outdoor garden setting in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Jean Cocteau holds a human skull to his face like a mask as his adopted son, Edouard "Doudou" Dermit, looks on. The scene, captured during the 1959 filming of *Le Testament d’Orphée*, is framed by a trellis-covered wall and an arched niche containing a striking mosaic of a stylized face, split vertically into black and white halves.
