Picasso with the goat Esmeralda at Christmas 1956. She was a Christmas present from Jacqueline. Sculptures in the garden of La Californie, Cannes 1956.
Pablo Picasso stands with Esmeralda, a goat given to him by his wife Jacqueline for Christmas in 1956. In the garden of his villa, La Californie, in Cannes, the black-and-white animal stares at the camera while Picasso, wearing a plaid shirt and trousers, looks down. Surrounding them on the gravel are several of his modern sculptures, including a stylized female bust and a goat-like figure, set against a background of dense foliage and palm fronds.
