Jean Cocteau working on the mural of the Chapelle Saint Pierre. Villefranche-sur-Mer 1956.

Jean Cocteau works on the mural for the Chapelle Saint Pierre in Villefranche-sur-Mer, 1956. Standing on a stepladder and leaning against it, he looks toward the camera, dwarfed by the vast preliminary drawing that covers the wall behind him. The artwork, sketched in a bold, linear style, features a central depiction of Jesus Christ surrounded by smaller religious and mythological figures, including a mermaid-like creature with a trident.
