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

Jean Cocteau stands before the large panels of his mural for the Chapelle Saint Pierre in Villefranche-sur-Mer, 1956. Dressed in a dark, belted jumpsuit, the artist gazes intently at the camera, his hands casually in his pockets. Behind him, the bold line drawings for the chapel are visible—a figure in profile to his left and intricate, stained-glass-like geometric designs to his right. A prominent shadow echoes his silhouette against the artwork.
