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.

For his own amusement and that of his guests, Pablo Picasso strikes a pose in a large, textured beret from his hat collection. Photographed at his villa La Californie in Cannes in 1956, the artist stands with arms crossed, wearing a patterned scarf and plaid trousers. His intense and serious expression is directed at the camera, a contrast to the eclectic mix of ornate furniture and his own simple line drawings pinned to the wall behind him.
