Villa Santo Sospir. "Judith and Holofernes" by Jean Cocteau Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1985.
Jean Cocteau's large tapestry, "Judith and Holofernes," hangs within the Villa Santo Sospir in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1985. The surreal artwork, flanked by two table lamps, is compositionally divided. On the left, a pale female figure reclines against a moonlit background, above a mass of intertwined forms. A descending, tiger-striped object dominates the center, while at right, a dark, horned figure in white robes holds a light-radiating staff. The room is characterized by its woven mat ceiling.
