Jean Cocteau in front of the mural of the Chapelle Saint Pierre. Villefranche-sur-Mer 1956.

Jean Cocteau, in a plaid jacket, gestures as he discusses his vast, unfinished mural at the Chapelle Saint Pierre in Villefranche-sur-Mer, 1956. He and another man stand before the large-scale line drawing, a dynamic composition of stylized, elongated figures in a modern, figurative style. The bare concrete floor and a can visible to the left indicate the work is actively in progress, capturing the chapel during its artistic transformation.
