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

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Christmas 1956. Pablo Picasso crouches behind his goat, Esmeralda, a gift from Jacqueline. With Picasso's hand on her back, the goat leans over a miniature billiard table as Jacqueline herself kneels nearby, aiming a camera. In the background of the cluttered studio-home, among easels and ceramics, are Claude Picasso and Cathérine "Cathy" Hutin. The scene captures a characteristic blend of family life and intense creative work.
