Jean Cocteau at Villa Santo Sospir, working on ink drawing "Souvenirs de Jean Cocteau". Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1952.

At his Villa Santo Sospir in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Jean Cocteau is captured in a moment of quiet concentration. Clad in a thick, white terrycloth bathrobe, he sits in profile at a cluttered desk, creating the ink drawing "Souvenirs de Jean Cocteau" with a paintbrush. Amidst sheets of paper, his workspace holds an ornate glass inkwell, fountain pens, and a pair of eyeglasses. 1952.
