The present painting was a design for a long window frieze at a medieval house in Cogolin, near Saint Tropez., telling the legend of St Tropez, a Roman centurion beheaded at Pisa - St Tropez's body was put to sea accompanied by a cockerel and a dog, and was found untouched when the boat washed ashore in France. The town of Cogolin was named for the cockerel of the legend.
