Jean Cocteau and Orson Welles. Nice Airport 1952.

At Nice Airport in 1952, Jean Cocteau and Orson Welles share an intense, candid moment. Cocteau, slender and with a weary expression, looks downward thoughtfully, his hand to the back of his neck and a lit cigarette between his fingers. Welles, larger in build and seen in profile, listens intently in his heavy overcoat. Their seemingly private conversation unfolds in a public space, observed by several figures leaning from the windows of the building above.
