Pablo Picasso at Christmas with Esmeralda, the goat he received from Jacqueline. In the background "Femme à la clé". La Californie, Cannes 1956.
At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso sits on the sunlit floor, gently holding a small goat in his lap. The goat, Esmeralda, was a Christmas gift from Jacqueline in 1956. Dressed in a plaid flannel shirt, the artist gazes down at the animal with a tender expression. In the background of the cluttered studio stands the painting "Femme à la clé," while the furry back of another animal, possibly an Afghan Hound, occupies the foreground.
