Jean Cocteau with fishermen at the time when he was working on his mural in the Chapelle Saint Pierre. Villefranche-sur-Mer 1956.
On the sunlit quay of Villefranche-sur-Mer in 1956, Jean Cocteau crouches during a break from his work on the mural in the Chapelle Saint Pierre. Dressed in a work jacket over a shirt and tie, he is joined by a local fisherman holding a large, circular net. Moored nearby, the boat "SAPHIR NICE" carries several companions, including a young man in a striped marinière shirt. The picturesque harbor is lined with weathered buildings and fishing vessels, set against a steep hillside dotted with villas.
