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 strikes a pose for his own amusement and that of his guests. Trying on hats from his collection, he stands with arms crossed, wearing a light-colored cap backwards with flip-up sunglasses on the brim, a short-sleeved shirt, and bold plaid trousers. The room, filled with his creations including primitivist-style masks and sketches, offers an intimate glimpse into the artist's personal and creative environment.
