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 tries on hats from his collection for his own amusement and that of his guests. He stands with arms crossed, his serious gaze directed at the camera, wearing a cap with its visor and a pair of sunglasses pushed up on his forehead. Behind him, an ornate commode is covered with other hats, books, and objects. A large mirror reflects the artist’s profile and offers a glimpse into his art-filled workspace, creating an intimate portrait within his personal domain.
