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

Pablo Picasso sits on the parquet floor of his studio at La Californie, Cannes, tenderly holding the goat Esmeralda—a Christmas present from Jacqueline in 1956. Dressed in a checkered shirt, the artist leans forward in a gesture of affection as the goat rests its head against his chest. Behind them, the creative space is filled with stacks of plates and a large ceramic vase decorated with stylized figures, with dramatic lighting from the left illuminating the intimate scene.
