At Christmas with Esmeralda, the goat Pablo Picasso received from Jacqueline. Pablo Picasso, Inès Sassier, Pablo Picasso's housekeeper, Jacqueline, Claude Picasso, Paloma Picasso, Catherine Hutin, Jan, Gérard Sassier. La Californie, Cannes Cannes 1956.

A lively Christmas celebration unfolds at Pablo Picasso's villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956. The artist, in a plaid flannel shirt, looks down as a group gathers on the floor amidst unwrapped presents: Jacqueline, Claude and Paloma Picasso, Catherine Hutin, his housekeeper Inès Sassier, Gérard Sassier, and Jan. Standing calmly in the center is Esmeralda, a goat Picasso received as a gift from Jacqueline. The ornate room, with its large decorated tree and art-filled mantel, merges the intimacy of a family holiday with the creative atmosphere of the artist's studio.
