Gérard Philipe as Modigliani in "Montparnasse 19". A film by Jacques Becker. A scene being filmed on the beach. Cagnes-sur-Mer 1957.

In a grainy close-up, actor Gérard Philipe portrays artist Amedeo Modigliani during the filming of Jacques Becker's "Montparnasse 19" on a beach in Cagnes-sur-Mer, 1957. With tousled dark hair and a candid expression, his mouth slightly open, Philipe looks toward the left. He wears a thick, dark scarf around his neck over a light-colored, textured shirt. The outdoor setting is rendered as a soft, out-of-focus background with a light sky over a distant landscape.
