Pablo Picasso with the goat Esmeralda at Christmas 1956. She was a Christmas present from Jacqueline. Sculptures in the garden of La Californie, Cannes 1956.
Pablo Picasso stands in the garden of his Cannes villa, La Californie, with Esmeralda, a goat he received as a Christmas present from Jacqueline in 1956. Dressed in a checkered shirt with his hands in his pockets, the artist looks directly at the camera. Behind him, on a gravel path, are two bronze sculptures: a slender female figure and a goat, surrounded by the garden's dense foliage.
