Pablo Picasso strikes a pose for his own amusement at his villa, La Californie, in Cannes, 1956. Wearing an oriental fez from his collection, he crosses his arms and stares intently at the camera. The ornate, rococo-paneled room is filled with personal effects, including a line drawing pinned to the wall and a cluttered assortment of other hats—a straw hat, a captain's hat, and a fedora—piled on a nearby dresser.
