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

Jean Cocteau kneels on the floor of the Chapelle Saint Pierre in Villefranche-sur-Mer, 1956, pausing his work on the mural behind him. Dressed in a work jumpsuit over a collared shirt and tie, he holds a paintbrush and looks directly at the camera, surrounded by paint cans. The unfinished mural's bold black outlines depict a large, classical-inspired head, a stylized fish, and several nude figures.
