Jean Cocteau and his adopted son Edouard "Doudou" Dermit during filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée". Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1959.

Jean Cocteau holds a human skull with a contemplative expression. This portrait of the director and his adopted son, Edouard "Doudou" Dermit, was taken in a garden during the 1959 filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée" in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Dressed in a light-colored suit jacket, Cocteau is framed by foliage and a vine-covered trellis, while a single wilted flower lies on a small, draped table in the foreground.
