Pablo Picasso at Christmas with Esmeralda, the goat he received from Jacqueline. La Californie, Cannes 1956.
In the sunlit garden of his villa, La Californie, in Cannes, Pablo Picasso bends over his pet goat, Esmeralda. A Christmas gift from Jacqueline in 1956, the live goat stands on a gravel path next to the artist’s own life-sized bronze sculpture of a goat. Dressed in a black-and-white plaid shirt and light trousers, Picasso is framed by lush palm trees.
