Pablo Picasso stands in the garden of his villa, La Californie, in Cannes during Christmas 1956. Wearing a plaid shirt, his right hand rests on the head of his large, stylized sculpture of a goat. To his side is Esmeralda, the live goat he received as a gift from Jacqueline. Other abstract sculptures are visible among the dense, leafy trees and palm fronds in the background.
