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

In the sunlit studio of his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso sits on the parquet floor with the goat Esmeralda, a Christmas gift from Jacqueline in 1956. Wearing a plaid shirt, the artist holds the goat’s leash, his gaze fixed on her. In the foreground, his son Claude is absorbed in a game on the floor, while Jacqueline kneels in the background. The room, filled with creative and domestic clutter, is streaked with dramatic shadows cast by strong sunlight streaming in from the right.
