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.

At his Villa La Californie in Cannes in 1956, Pablo Picasso strikes a pose, trying on a whimsical, pom-pommed hat from his collection for the amusement of his guests. The artist's deadpan expression and crossed arms contrast sharply with the playful headwear. He stands in a richly decorated room filled with art, including several masks and a small drawing. A nearby dresser is piled with more hats, its surface reflected in an ornate mirror that reveals more of the intimate, creative space.
