To strike a pose, Pablo Picasso tries on hats from his collection for his own amusement and that of his guests. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

For his own amusement and that of his guests, Pablo Picasso strikes a pose while trying on hats from his collection at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956. Wearing a dark beret, a rumpled shirt, and plaid trousers, he stands with arms crossed amidst the creative clutter of the ornate room. Behind him, a large mirror reflects his profile, while a carved dresser is covered with an eclectic mix of objects, including drawings and other hats.
