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 while trying on hats from his collection. In his villa, La Californie, he looks directly at the camera with a serious expression, wearing a straw boater, a vibrant pink shirt, and dark plaid trousers. A tribal mask hangs on the ornate wall behind him, while other hats rest on a marble-topped dresser. Cannes, 1956.
