Orson Welles playing the role of Benjamin Franklin in the film "La Fayette" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice 1961.

Orson Welles, as Benjamin Franklin, studies a document on the set of the film "La Fayette." Surrounded by fellow actors in 18th-century costume, he is dressed in a tricorne hat, spectacles, and a long white wig. The scene is set in an elegantly appointed room with wood-paneled walls, though the illusion is revealed by the visible boom microphone and studio lights. The photograph was taken at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice in 1961.
