Christmas at Pablo Picasso’s villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956. His wife Jacqueline, seated on the floor, pets Esmeralda, a goat she had gifted him. Picasso, in a plaid shirt, stands smiling over the group gathered amidst opened presents. They are joined by his children Claude and Paloma, Catherine Hutin, Jan, and housekeeper Inès Sassier with Gérard Sassier. A large, decorated tree and numerous artworks on the mantelpiece contribute to the warm, bohemian atmosphere of the art-filled room.
