Pablo Picasso celebrates Christmas with family and friends at his villa, La Californie, in Cannes, 1956. Wearing a plaid shirt, the artist looks on as children, including Claude and Paloma Picasso, Catherine Hutin, and Jan, play with presents on the floor. Standing nearby is Esmeralda, the goat recently gifted to him by Jacqueline. The festive scene, which includes Inès and Gérard Sassier, unfolds in the art-filled salon, where a large Christmas tree stands near the fireplace, its mantel adorned with Picasso’s own ceramic and cutout sculptures.
