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 dark bowler hat from his collection. Photographed at his villa La Californie in Cannes in 1956, the artist confronts the camera with a piercing gaze, his hands thrust into his pockets. He is surrounded by a creative disarray of art and objects, including drawings, tribal masks, and a large pile of other hats resting on a surface next to an ornate mirror against a wall with rococo-style moldings.
