Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline with the goat Esmeralda at Christmas 1956. She was a Christmas present from Jacqueline. La Californie, Cannes 1956.
In the cluttered, art-filled studio of his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso observes the goat Esmeralda, a Christmas present from his wife Jacqueline in 1956. Seated beside him, Jacqueline, wearing a patterned scarf, gently interacts with the animal while Picasso, in a plaid shirt, leans in. The intimate domestic scene is surrounded by personal effects and artworks, including several prominent sculptures and a violin hanging above the mantelpiece.
