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

In a Cannes studio in 1953, Jean Cocteau prepares a drawing for the 6th Cannes Film Festival. Viewed from behind in a light-colored smock, he kneels on the floor to work on a large canvas. He applies bold, dark lines to form a stylized, geometric face, while a small wooden table nearby holds his art supplies.
