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

Jean Cocteau, in a dark suit and tie, pauses on a stepladder while creating the murals for the Chapelle Saint Pierre in Villefranche-sur-Mer, 1956. He is positioned before the large-scale, in-progress line drawing, a composition of bold lines depicting multiple figures gazing upward toward a dominant robed character. Stylized details, including swimming fish and a small, trident-wielding mythological creature, are visible within the artwork.
