Jean Cocteau working on the mural of the Chapelle Saint Pierre. Villefranche-sur-Mer 1956.

In 1956, Jean Cocteau pauses his work on the murals of the Chapelle Saint Pierre in Villefranche-sur-Mer. Dressed in a dark jumpsuit over a shirt and tie, he stands with hands on his hips before the large, unfinished composition. Sketched in black lines on the curved white wall, the mural features stylized figures: a guitarist on a stool, a woman behind a dancing girl, and a semi-nude male figure leaping across the upper portion with a staff. A decorated archway with geometric patterns frames the scene on the left.
