Pablo Picasso with the goat Esmeralda at Christmas 1956. She was a Christmas present from Jacqueline. La Californie, Cannes 1956.
In his studio at La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso sits on the wooden floor, gently cradling a young goat named Esmeralda. A Christmas present from his wife Jacqueline in 1956, the goat rests comfortably in his arms. Dressed in a plaid shirt, the artist looks down at the animal with an affectionate expression. Sunlight streams into the cluttered room, but the sharp focus creates an intimate and peaceful portrait of the artist and his new companion.
