Jean Cocteau working on the mural of the Chapelle Saint Pierre. Villefranche-sur-Mer 1956.

In a work smock over a shirt and tie, Jean Cocteau stands with arms crossed before his in-progress mural at the Chapelle Saint Pierre in Villefranche-sur-Mer, 1956. With a pensive expression, he is surrounded by paint cans, bottles, and a preparatory sketch. The large-scale line drawing behind him depicts a scene from the Passion of Christ, featuring a Roman soldier, a central group of figures, and the stylized, weeping face of a veiled woman.
