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 wide-brimmed straw hat from his collection at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956. He looks directly at the camera, a casual figure in an ornately decorated room where rococo moldings contrast with a simple drawing tacked to the wall. To the right, a cluttered surface holds several other hats, while an elaborate mirror reflects a distinctive, cubist-style ceramic mask, offering a glimpse into the artist's personal, creative space.
