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

In Cannes, 1953, Jean Cocteau is captured in profile as he creates a drawing for the 6th Cannes Film Festival. Dressed in a light-colored smock over a shirt and tie, he holds a piece of charcoal to a large, upright board, his expression one of deep concentration. His left hand rests on his lap, adorned with his signature Cartier Trinity ring. The grainy texture of the black and white photograph emphasizes the candid nature of the scene.
