Jean Renoir in the gardens of "Les Collettes" (today Musée Renoir) directing the film “Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe”, Cagnes-sur-Mer 1959.

Director Jean Renoir, wearing a pith helmet, rests in a canvas chair during a meal break while filming “Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe” in 1959. He is surrounded by cast and crew in the rustic, wooded gardens of "Les Collettes" in Cagnes-sur-Mer, the former estate of his father, Auguste Renoir. Several people are situated around a long table, while others are scattered among the trees in the casual outdoor setting.
