Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline reading a Christmas card. The goat Esmeralda was a Christmas present from Jacqueline. La Californie, Cannes 1956.
In the cluttered studio of their villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline share an intimate moment reading a Christmas card in 1956. Jacqueline, dressed in a dark coat, holds the leash of the goat Esmeralda, her Christmas gift to the artist. Picasso, wearing a plaid shirt and glasses, stands beside her, both looking intently at the card as the small goat looks on from the foreground, surrounded by sculptures, a violin, and other eclectic objects that fill the informal space.
