Jean Cocteau at Villa Santo Sospir, working on ink drawing "Souvenirs de Jean Cocteau". Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1952.
At the Villa Santo Sospir in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Jean Cocteau sits at his cluttered desk, deeply focused on an ink drawing in 1952. Clad in a white terry cloth bathrobe, he holds a fine-tipped brush poised above the paper, which would become "Souvenirs de Jean Cocteau". The intimate setting is filled with the tools of his artistic life: an open glass inkwell, pens, and stacks of letters. His left hand rests in his lap, holding a lit cigarette.
