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

In Cannes, 1953, Jean Cocteau creates a drawing for the 6th Film Festival. Seated on a patterned carpet in a light-colored work smock, he uses a paintbrush to add the cursive words “Bienvenue à tous” to a large canvas propped on a simple easel. His left hand rests on the floor for support as he works. In the foreground, open paint cans sit on a protective sheet of paper, while a large, gridded window illuminates the scene.
