Picasso with the goat Esmeralda at Christmas 1956. She was a Christmas present from Jacqueline. Sculptures in the garden of La Californie, Cannes 1956.
In the sunlit garden of his villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso holds the leash of the goat Esmeralda, a Christmas present from Jacqueline in 1956. With his other hand, he touches the head of his large, abstract bronze sculpture, "La Chèvre," seemingly introducing the living animal to its artistic representation.
