In a white terry cloth bathrobe, Jean Cocteau crouches beside a mosaic path he designed for the Villa Santo Sospir in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1952. The home belonged to Francine Weisweiller, a well-known figure of Paris “Café Society.” Captured from a high angle, Cocteau looks directly at the camera with a serious expression, gesturing towards the outdoor artwork. The mosaic features a stylized, abstract face in black and white tiles, with three wavy stripes extending from its central circle to form a path.
