On the balcony of the Villa Santo Sospir in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Pablo Picasso observes the filming of Jean Cocteau’s “Le Testament d’Orphée” in 1959. He is joined by Francine Weisweiller, Cathy Hutin, and Jaime Sabartés. Leaning over the wrought-iron railing, they watch the scene below, where an actress in an elaborate period costume stands near a large studio light and the film crew. The low-angle shot captures the contrast between the observers, the costumed performer, and the modern cinematic production.
