Jean Cocteau, making a drawing for the 6th Cannes Film Festival. Cannes 1953.
Kneeling on a patterned carpet, Jean Cocteau completes a drawing for the 6th Cannes Film Festival in 1953. He leans forward intently, applying his signature with a fine-tipped brush to a large board propped on an A-frame stand. His materials—open cans of black paint and a rag—rest on the floor beside him. The setting, a brightly lit room filled with rows of mid-century modern armchairs, is a public lounge rather than a traditional artist's studio.
