At Christmas with Esmeralda, the goat Pablo Picasso received from Jacqueline. Jacqueline, Claude Picasso with Citroën DS, Paloma Picasso, Catherine Hutin, Gérard Sassier. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso celebrates Christmas 1956 with family and his goat, Esmeralda, a gift from Jacqueline. While Picasso watches, a group of children—Claude and Paloma Picasso, Catherine Hutin, and Gérard Sassier—are absorbed in a game of miniature billiards on the floor. Jacqueline leans over the scene, which unfolds beside a large Christmas tree. In the background, pieces of the artist's own modern art and ceramics are visible on and around the fireplace mantel.
