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

In a high-angle photograph from 1952, Jean Cocteau sits on a doorstep at his Villa Santo Sospir in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Dressed in a white robe, he gazes directly at the camera. At his feet lies an elaborate mosaic walkway of his own design, its black and white tiles forming a stylized face within a circle and a long, serpentine line. The composition frames the artist with his creation, set against the villa's white stucco walls and dark, slatted doors.
