Jean Cocteau with his mosaic at Villa Santo Sospir. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1952.

Jean Cocteau sits on a doorstep at the Villa Santo Sospir in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1952. Dressed in a bathrobe and striped pajama pants, he looks pensively at the camera, one arm resting on a bent knee. Before him is a striking mosaic pathway of his own design. Made of black and white tiles, the path features a large, circular medallion with a stylized face from which a thick, serpentine line meanders toward the dark, louvered door.
