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

Jean Cocteau pauses his work on the mural of the Chapelle Saint Pierre in Villefranche-sur-Mer, 1956. Crouched on a low stool in a suit and tie, he holds a paintbrush and looks directly at the camera, his distinct shadow cast on the wall behind him. The unfinished work is rendered in bold, modernist outlines depicting a human profile, a fish, and a pointing hand. Paint cans and brushes on the textured floor signify the active workspace.
