At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso observes a Christmas celebration in 1956. Beside him stands Esmeralda, the goat gifted to him by Jacqueline. On the wooden floor, Claude and Paloma Picasso, Catherine Hutin, and Gérard Sassier are gathered around a miniature billiards table next to a decorated tree. Jacqueline leans over the children as they play, while Picasso’s own modern artworks, including ceramic pieces and stylized cutouts, adorn the room's fireplace mantelpiece.
