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.

In his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956, Pablo Picasso strikes a pose for the amusement of his guests. He tries on a large, conical, woven hat from his collection, a pile of which rests on a nearby console table. Dressed in a casual short-sleeved shirt and plaid trousers, he crosses his arms with a pensive expression. The room's eclectic decor, mixing ornate molding with tribal art, offers an intimate glimpse into the artist's personal space.
