Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline Roque with the goat Esmeralda at Christmas 1956. She was a Christmas present from Jacqueline. "La Californie, Cannes" 1956.

In a cluttered room at their villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline Roque share a quiet domestic moment at Christmas, 1956. Picasso, wearing a fedora, concentrates on something in his lap while Jacqueline looks on attentively. Between them, occupying a patterned armchair, is the goat Esmeralda—a Christmas gift from Jacqueline. The intimate scene is filled with personal belongings, from a model ship in a birdcage to a violin hanging on the wall.
