Pablo Picasso celebrates Christmas at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956. He affectionately watches his children, Claude and Paloma, alongside Catherine Hutin and others as they play with presents on the floor; Claude's new Citroën DS is visible. Close by stands Esmeralda, a goat given to Picasso by his wife, Jacqueline. The intimate scene, also attended by housekeeper Inès Sassier and her family, unfolds in a room where a large decorated tree stands near a fireplace adorned with the artist’s own ceramics and sculptures.
