Orphée aux Feuillages (Orpheus in Foliage), a stained glass work, designed by Jean Cocteau and made by Roger Malherbe-Navarre at Les Gemmaux de France studio around 1954; now part of the collection at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, USA.

Hundreds of tiny pieces of glass in shades of yellow, blue, and brown take the abstract shape of a person's head and shoulders in profile. They are wearing a crown of golden leaves and looking up beyond the frame. Their mouth is open, in agony or song ... who can say?
