Jean Cocteau with his mosaic at Villa Santo Sospir. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1952.

Jean Cocteau stands in a doorway at the Villa Santo Sospir, 1952, behind a prominent mosaic pathway of his own design. The path, made of small black and white tiles, forms a bold, stylized face. Dressed in a textured bathrobe over striped pajamas with a white scarf around his neck, Cocteau looks toward the camera with one hand in his pocket. The door behind him, set in a white stucco wall in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, has a dark frame and panels of reeded glass.
