Jean Cocteau at Villa Santo Sospir. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1954.
Jean Cocteau at the Villa Santo Sospir in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1954. Captured in profile, he holds a glass while his other hand balances a lit cigarette and a pair of eyeglasses. Strong light casts his sharp silhouette against an ornate wardrobe, its doors decorated with his own distinctive line-art faces. On the wall behind him, faint cursive writing is visible, with the words "Invitation to Bacchantes" discernible above a hand-drawn diagram. He wears a dark bomber-style jacket over a sweater, shirt, and tie.
