Orson Welles undergoes his transformation into Benjamin Franklin for the film "La Fayette" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1961. Captured in profile, the actor is seen with a bald pate, a long gray wig, and small round glasses. A makeup artist, mostly in shadow, leans in to make careful adjustments. Stark side lighting illuminates the subjects against a black background, creating a dramatic, high-contrast image that conveys a sense of quiet, behind-the-scenes concentration.
