Imitating the gestures and voice of a tragedian with noises sounding like English, Pablo Picasso imagines himself as Hamlet. La Californie, Cannes 1957.

Imitating the gestures and voice of a tragedian with noises sounding like English, Pablo Picasso imagines himself as Hamlet. Photographed in his cluttered studio at the villa La Californie in Cannes in 1957, he stands dressed in bold plaid trousers, holding a human skull. His right arm is raised, palm forward, in a dramatic gesture, capturing a moment of theatrical play amidst the creative chaos of his workspace.
