Pablo Picasso at Christmas with Esmeralda, the goat he received from Jacqueline. La Californie, Cannes 1956.
At his villa, La Californie, in Cannes, Pablo Picasso stands with Esmeralda, a goat he received from his wife Jacqueline for Christmas in 1956. Dressed in a plaid shirt, the artist rests his right hand on the head of his dark, rough-textured sculpture of a goat. In his left hand, he holds the leash of the living Esmeralda, the sculpture’s inspiration. The two are positioned on either side of Picasso on a gravel path, set against a backdrop of dense foliage.
