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

In the gardens of "Les Collettes" in Cagnes-sur-Mer, director Jean Renoir instructs his cast and crew during the 1959 filming of “Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe.” Captured from behind with arms outstretched, Renoir is dressed in simple work clothes, a straw hat in hand. In stark contrast, his formally attired audience sits attentively on chairs arranged beneath the gnarled trees of the estate, which is today the Musée Renoir.
