Carta autógrafa «Jean» con DIBUJO firmado «Jean Cocteau», Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat, 16 de noviembre de 1957, dirigida a Marlene DIETRICH; 1 folio oblongo in-4 (20,5 x 27 cm), montado sobre cartulina con marie-louise. Preciosa carta ilustrada con un gran dibujo para Marlene Dietrich. Ficha: «Marlène, mi ángel de la guarda. Me entristece estar tan cerca y tan lejos de ti. Estas crisis de soledad me invaden en los andamios de mi capilla, como si estuviera separado del drama del mundo en el platillo del venusiano. Sé buena. Escríbeme dos líneas desde el corazón en una tarjeta. Jean» [En 1957, Marlène Dietrich rodaba en Mónaco *The Monte Carlo Story*, de Samuel A. Taylor, mientras que Cocteau decoraba la capilla de San Pedro de Villefranche-sur-Mer, a unos quince kilómetros de allí. Cocteau y Dietrich eran amigos desde hacía mucho tiempo.] El dibujo a lápiz negro es el boceto del fresco de la «Pareja de Menton», destinado a la sala de bodas del Ayuntamiento de Menton.
