signed and annotated 'Paris' in the negative, signed and inscribed 'à Robert delle Dome son ami' by Jean Cocteau in ink in the margin, framed, 1924

This photograph, on smooth, mostly matte-surface double-weight paper, is in generally excellent condition. Upon extremely close examination, a small soft crease is barely visible in the sitter's hair area. The margin corners are rubbed, there is a tiny loss to the tip of the lower left corner, and there is a small crease in the upper margin. The reverse of the print is soiled lightly. On the reverse are reduction, numerical, and various illegible notations in pencil.
