During the filming of Jean Cocteau's "Le Testament d’Orphée" in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1959, Pablo Picasso observes an outdoor scene. Dressed in a flat cap and checked trousers, he stands with a hand to his mouth. At the center, Guy Dute and Jean-Claude Petit, as "L'homme chien," are barefoot amidst coiled hoses. Dute wears swim briefs with a spotted tail, while Petit is fitted with a stylized Anubis mask. In the background, actor Edouard Dermit looks on from a higher level, a small camera in his hand.
