Jean Cocteau with his mosaic at Villa Santo Sospir. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1952.

At his Villa Santo Sospir, Jean Cocteau crouches beside a large mosaic of his own design. Dressed in a light-colored terry cloth bathrobe over striped trousers, he looks directly toward the camera with a pensive expression. The intricate black-and-white tile artwork, set into the ground before the white stucco building, is dominated by a stylized abstract face. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1952.
