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.

With an intense and direct gaze, Pablo Picasso crosses his arms and strikes a pose at his villa, La Californie, in Cannes, 1956. For his own amusement and that of his guests, he models an item from his personal collection: a black, flat-topped hat with a red top and tassel. Dressed in a vibrant red shirt, he stands in an ornate room where a nearby table is cluttered with other hats in various styles, from a woven conical hat to a dark fedora. The wall behind him features elaborate plaster moldings and a small piece of artwork.
