Jean Cocteau during filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée", film of Jean Cocteau. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1959.

Jean Cocteau kneels in a garden beside a CAME 300 REFLEX motion picture camera during the filming of his work, "Le Testament d’Orphée". Dressed in a light-colored suit, the director’s expression is focused as he rests his arms on a control handle, looking just out of frame. A small, brick-edged pond with lily pads is visible in the foreground of the lush, outdoor set in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1959.
