When Françoise Sagan became famous, having written "Bonjour Tristesse", she went to live at Cannes in a room at the Carlton Hotel and worked there on her novel "Un certain Sourire". Cannes 1954.

In her room at the Carlton Hotel in Cannes, 1954, Françoise Sagan pauses mid-sip with an intense gaze. Having recently found fame with her novel "Bonjour Tristesse," the author with short, tousled hair had taken up residence there to work on her next book, "Un certain Sourire." Strong light illuminates the side of her face, creating a pensive, high-contrast scene within the intimacy of the room.
