Picasso with the goat Esmeralda at Christmas 1956. She was a Christmas present from Jacqueline. La Californie, Cannes 1956.
At his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso shares a quiet moment with a young goat named Esmeralda. A Christmas present from Jacqueline Roque in 1956, the animal returns the artist's intense gaze. Picasso, seen in profile wearing a plaid flannel shirt, appears to be in gentle conversation. In the softly lit background, a small, decorated Christmas tree on a mantelpiece marks the festive occasion.
