To strike a pose, Pablo Picasso tries on hats from his collection for his own amusement and that of his guests. Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1964.

At his home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, Pablo Picasso tries on a dark, textured hat from his collection. For the amusement of his guests in 1964, he strikes a pose, fixing the camera with an intense, piercing gaze while adjusting the hat with both hands. Dressed in a V-neck sweater, the artist is captured in a cluttered studio surrounded by his own linocuts and paintings, providing a powerful context for this spontaneous moment.
