Claude Picasso dressed up as a clown. With goat Esmeralda. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

A costumed Claude Picasso kneels on the floor of the villa La Californie next to the family goat, Esmeralda. Wearing a dark beret and a large, white, polka-dotted bow tie, he gently holds a thin rope tied to the goat’s neck. A white pierrot mask with a wide, smiling mouth rests on the floor in front of him, while an easel stands in the background of the artist’s studio. Cannes, 1956.
