Pablo Picasso observes a Christmas gathering at his villa, La Californie, in Cannes, 1956. On the floor, his children Claude and Paloma, alongside Catherine Hutin and Gérard Sassier, are absorbed in a game. Standing calmly beside the artist is the goat Esmeralda, a gift from his wife, Jacqueline. The festive scene is framed by a large, decorated Christmas tree and Picasso’s own artworks displayed on the fireplace mantel, creating a warm, intimate atmosphere.
