Jean Cocteau at Villa Santo Sospir, working on ink drawing "Souvenirs de Jean Cocteau". Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1952.
At the Villa Santo Sospir in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1952, Jean Cocteau is absorbed in an intimate moment of quiet concentration. Seen in profile and wearing a white terrycloth bathrobe, he is deeply focused on his ink drawing, "Souvenirs de Jean Cocteau." With a thin paintbrush, he applies black ink to the paper, which rests on a cluttered desk alongside an inkwell, eyeglasses, and a fountain pen. The artwork's elegant, calligraphic lines and the year "1952" are visible.
