Claude Picasso dressed up as a clown. With goat Esmeralda. La Californie, Cannes 1956.
At La Californie in Cannes, 1956, Claude Picasso smiles in a full clown costume, his face painted white with an elaborate grin. He wears a dark, flat-topped hat, a polka-dot ruffled ascot, and plaid trousers while holding his goat Esmeralda on a rope. They stand in the cluttered studio on ornate parquet flooring, surrounded by canvases, stacks of hand-painted tiles, a miniature billiards table, and a tinsel-covered Christmas tree.
