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 tries on a white captain's hat from his collection at his villa, La Californie, in Cannes, 1956. With arms crossed and a contemplative expression, he stands in the eclectic room amidst his personal collection of art and objects. A large Oceanic mask hangs on the wall behind him, while a cluttered dresser displays a jumble of other hats, books, and decorated boxes.
