Orson Welles playing the role of Benjamin Franklin in the film "La Fayette" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice 1961.

Orson Welles, playing Benjamin Franklin, peeks from behind a heavy curtain on the set of the film "La Fayette" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, 1961. Dressed in period costume with a dark coat, white cravat, and spectacles, he holds a letter while observing the elegantly furnished study. The room features wood-paneled walls, a rococo sofa, and a bookshelf filled with leather-bound volumes, while lighting rigs visible at the top of the frame reveal the artifice of the elaborate set.
