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, a small bandage on his forehead, sits in a director’s chair during a break in filming “Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe.” Holding a pith helmet, he is captured in a contemplative moment, surrounded by his crew and equipment. The sunlit scene takes place in the gardens of "Les Collettes" in Cagnes-sur-Mer, 1959, with a large camera draped in a white cloth visible to his left.
