Jean Cocteau in front of the Chapelle Saint Pierre. Villefranche-sur-Mer 1956.
In Villefranche-sur-Mer, 1956, Jean Cocteau stands in the doorway of the Chapelle Saint-Pierre. The weathered, gabled building also served as the local fishing tribunal, as indicated by the inscription "TRIBUNAL DE PECHE" across its facade. Above the main arched entrance is a carved coat of arms. Cocteau, wearing a patterned sweater over a shirt and tie, is joined by another man in a white shirt who leans against the wall. Strong sunlight casts sharp, diagonal shadows across the scene, revealing a terraced hillside and viaduct in the distance.
