Pablo Picasso celebrates Christmas at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956. He watches over a festive gathering that includes Jacqueline, his children Claude and Paloma, Catherine Hutin, and his housekeeper Inès Sassier with her husband Gérard. Standing calmly among them is Esmeralda, the goat given to him by Jacqueline. The art-filled room, with Picasso’s own ceramics and cutout figures on the mantelpiece, captures the warm, bohemian atmosphere of the holiday.
