They are 3 versions of the same poem or 3 poems on the same theme, so important are the variants. One of them is on the same paper as “La Dame aux camélias” and “Comment mourut monsieur de Trèves”, and one is on the same paper as “The Child with Golden Knees”. One of the sheets is illustrated with 2 drawings, one of which reproduces a drawing by Dunoyer de Segonzac illustrating Scheherazade. 25x25 cm / 31x20 cm / 21x13.2 cm Jean Cocteau, born on 5 July 1889 in Maisons-Laffitte and died on 11 October 1963 in his home in Milly-la-Forêt, is a French poet, graphic designer, draughtsman, painter, playwright, choreographer and filmmaker from a family of the Parisian uppermiddle class.
