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, seen in the background, oversees a large group of women and children during the filming of “Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe.” The cast is gathered on a gravel courtyard in the gardens of "Les Collettes" in Cagnes-sur-Mer, 1959. At the center of the informal cluster is a woman in a floral sundress, while to the right, another crouches to warmly embrace a small toddler. The rustic stone building of what is now the Musée Renoir forms the backdrop to the scene.
