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

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso cradles Esmeralda, a young goat received as a Christmas present from his wife, Jacqueline, in 1956. Seated cross-legged on the wooden floor of his studio, the artist, dressed in a checkered plaid shirt, leans forward to press a gentle kiss onto the goat’s head. The intimate moment of quiet affection is illuminated by the natural light from a large, ornate arched window.
