Cartoon by Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) showing Igor Stravinsky playing the score of the ballet Le Sacre du Printemps, signed and dated 1913. Two years before Cocteau had drawn a similar but simpler drawing showing Stravinsky playing Petrouchka - looking at the two together indicates the impact of Sacre's extraordinary score.
