Jean Cocteau at Villa Santo Sospir with "Judith and Holofernes". Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1959.
Jean Cocteau sits at the head of an elaborately set dining table at the Villa Santo Sospir in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1959. He is centrally framed before his large mural, "Judith and Holofernes," which covers the entire wall. Wearing a cardigan over a shirt and tie, Cocteau looks directly at the camera with a neutral expression, his hands resting on the table amidst dark glassware and matching lamps. The room's textured, woven walls and the formally arranged table complete the composed interior scene captured in black and white.
