Jean Cocteau, Edouard Dermit during filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée", film of Jean Cocteau. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1959.

On the set of his film 'Le Testament d’Orphée' in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1959, Jean Cocteau and Edouard Dermit face each other across a small table. Cocteau, wearing a white skull mask and a light suit, stands opposite Dermit, who is dressed in a cardigan and rolled-up trousers. Dermit raises an open palm toward Cocteau’s face. On the fringed tablecloth between them are a small pot and a single dark flower, set before a vine-covered trellis.
