Jean Cocteau. Cannes 1953. With two Cartier Trinity rings.
In Cannes, 1953, Jean Cocteau pauses to light a cigarette. Dressed in a thick, light-colored duffle coat, he shields the flame with his lapel, his head bowed and dark hair tousled. Visible on his fingers are two of his signature Cartier Trinity rings. This candid, black and white photograph captures the artist on an open promenade, with tall flagpoles silhouetted against a bright sky.
