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, conical woven hat from his collection. Photographed at his villa La Californie in Cannes in 1956, the artist stands with arms crossed, his gaze serious and direct. His casual attire of a short-sleeved shirt and plaid trousers contrasts with the ornate, art-filled room. On a dresser to his right, a pile of other hats awaits, while a tribal sculpture hangs on the wall behind him.
