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.

In his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso tries on a soft cap from his collection for the amusement of his guests in 1956. Captured in profile, he stands before an ornate wooden dresser cluttered with other hats, boxes, and papers. His reflection in the large mirror reveals a frontal view, his expression focused as he adjusts the cap with both hands. To his left, a collection of stylized, primitive-looking masks hangs on the wall.
