Orson Welles transformed to Benjamin Franklin in the film "La Fayette" at the Studios de la Victorine, Nice 1961.

Orson Welles, transformed into Benjamin Franklin for the film "La Fayette," is captured in a contemplative side-profile portrait at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1961. Dressed in 18th-century attire with a dark coat and lacy cravat, Welles embodies the historical figure with a wig featuring a high, bald forehead and long, flowing hair. His somber expression is framed by small, round spectacles, and accentuated by dramatic side lighting against a stark black background, which reveals the visible edge of the actor's bald cap.
