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, 1956, Pablo Picasso tries on hats from his personal collection for his own amusement and that of his guests. He stands with his arms crossed and an intense gaze, wearing a large, textured beret and a patterned scarf tucked into his shirt. The ornate room is filled with personal objects: a framed drawing and a small bull's head sculpture hang on the wall, while an eclectic assortment of hats is piled on a table before a large mirror.
