At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso crouches on the sunlit floor beside the goat Esmeralda, a Christmas present from Jacqueline in 1956. The room is a candid scene of creative, cluttered domestic life, where a low table is piled high with plates and various objects. In the background, amidst a chaotic assortment of furniture and art, his children Claude, Cathy, and Paloma Picasso are occupied on the floor, the space filled with an atmosphere of informal family life.
