During the filming of Jean Cocteau's "Le Testament d’Orphée" in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1959, Pablo Picasso observes actors Guy Dute and Jean-Claude Petit. Costumed as "L'homme chien" (the dog men), the shirtless actors stand barefoot; Dute, in profile, has a long, spotted tail, while Petit wears a large mask depicting the head of the Egyptian god Anubis. Dressed in a flat cap and checked trousers, Picasso watches with a hand to his mouth as actor Edouard Dermit looks on from the background.
