Pablo Picasso with the goat Esmeralda at Christmas 1956. She was a Christmas present from Jacqueline. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

Pablo Picasso sits on the sunlit parquet floor of his villa La Californie with the goat Esmeralda, a Christmas present from Jacqueline in 1956. Bright light from a tall, arched window illuminates the artist and the animal, who stands on a leash beside him. In the ornate, paneled room in Cannes, several modern paintings hang on the wall, creating a scene of high contrast between the bright sunlight and deep shadows.
