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

Jean Cocteau, dressed in a plaid jacket, pauses on a wooden ladder to look toward the camera while creating the sprawling mural for the Chapelle Saint Pierre in Villefranche-sur-Mer, 1956. With paintbrush in hand, he works on the complex, multi-figure scene rendered in bold black outlines against the white plaster of the curved wall. Below him, a small table serves as a makeshift workstation, holding bottles and pots of brushes, underscoring the work in progress.
