About Profile

The artwork titled “Profile,” created by Jean Cocteau in 1961, is indicative of the Expressionism art movement and falls within the genre of design.

The artwork presents a minimalist and elegant side profile of a human face, sketched with flowing, continuous lines. The composition is defined by its simplicity and abstract representation, with delicate features such as the eye and lips captured in a few precise strokes. The lines are unbroken and smooth, forming a graceful contour of the face that merges seamlessly with the background. The stylized treatment of the subject reflects the artist’s expressive interpretation, emphasizing emotional resonance over realistic depiction. Jean Cocteau’s signature, situated at the bottom right corner along with the year of creation, underlines the authenticity and personal touch inherent in this evocative piece of modernist design.
