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

Artist and filmmaker Jean Cocteau, hunched forward in a work smock, creates a drawing for the 6th Cannes Film Festival. He gestures with intensity while an unidentified man observes, his hands on his hips. The work-in-progress setting is an exhibition space, with posters for films including MGM's "Lili" and Alfred Hitchcock's "La Loi du Silence" ("I Confess") visible in the background. Cannes, 1953.
