Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline with Esmeralda, the goat he received from Jacqueline. La Californie, Cannes, Christmas 1956.

At their villa La Californie in Cannes, Pablo Picasso and Jacqueline crouch on the gravel ground, smiling warmly at one another on Christmas Day, 1956. Between them stands Esmeralda, the young goat Jacqueline gave the artist as a gift. Picasso, in a plaid shirt, and Jacqueline, in a blue jacket, are framed by the garden's large palm trees. Among the foliage, several of the artist's bronze animal sculptures are visible in the background.
