JEAN COCTEAU
Faune.

Crayon on paper, 1957. 416x295 mm; 16 1/4x11 1/2 inches. Signed and dated in crayon, upper left recto.

Acquired directly from the artist's estate by Tony Clark, a scholar on the artist.

The faune was a symbol often used by Cocteau (1189-1963); he believed that people are part human and part animal, and the faune represents the combined states.
