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 tries on hats from his collection at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956. With hands on hips and a serious gaze directed at the camera, he models a dark beret paired with a rumpled shirt and bold plaid trousers. He stands amidst an eclectic collection of personal objects and art—including a large tribal shield and various masks—that fills the cluttered but grand space of his home.
