Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline. During filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée", film of Jean Cocteau. At Villa Santo Sospir of Francine Weisweiller. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1959.
With a gentle, smiling expression, Jacqueline Roque is seen in profile, her face sharply in focus. Standing behind her, his back to the camera, is Pablo Picasso in a vertically striped shirt. This candid moment was captured at Francine Weisweiller's Villa Santo Sospir in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat during the 1959 filming of Jean Cocteau's "Le Testament d’Orphée". Strong backlighting from the right creates a high-contrast scene, casting deep shadows amid the lush, out-of-focus plants.
