Picasso with Claude dressed up as a clown, Paloma as a trapper. With goat Esmeralda. La Californie, Cannes 1956.
Pablo Picasso stands with his hand on his goat, Esmeralda, at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956. Beside them, his daughter Paloma, in a trapper costume, kneels while holding the goat's lead. Her attention is on the floor, where the clown mask belonging to her brother, Claude, rests. The high-ceilinged studio, with canvases stacked against the wall, provides an intimate backdrop where family life and creative work intertwine.
