Jean Cocteau, making a drawing for the 6th Cannes Film Festival. Cannes 1953.

Jean Cocteau, seen from the back, kneels on the floor while creating a large drawing for the 6th Cannes Film Festival in 1953. Clad in a light-colored artist's smock, he uses a dark tool on the upright canvas to sketch an abstract design of interconnected circles and flame-like shapes. To his left, a small table holds various art supplies. The photograph captures an intimate moment of artistic creation in Cannes, with a balcony railing visible in the background.
