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

In Cannes in 1953, Jean Cocteau is captured in profile, deeply focused on creating a drawing for the 6th Film Festival. Dressed in a painter's smock over a collared shirt and tie, he leans forward to dip a paintbrush into a can of paint resting on a cluttered table. The table is laden with his tools: cans, pastels, and a palette knife. In the background, a large white canvas displays the sparse, linear drawing of a stylized face, its features rendered in minimalist black lines.
