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.

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso playfully tries on a whimsical white hat from his collection. Photographed in 1956, the artist is seen from behind, his face captured in the reflection of an ornate mirror as he adjusts the headwear. Dressed in plaid trousers, he stands before a cluttered dresser topped with other hats and personal effects, in a candid moment of amusement for himself and his guests.
