Pablo Picasso with the goat Esmeralda at Christmas 1956. She was a Christmas present from Jacqueline. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

At his villa, La Californie, in Cannes, Pablo Picasso cradles the young goat Esmeralda, a Christmas gift from Jacqueline in 1956. With a tender expression, the artist, dressed in a plaid flannel shirt, looks directly at the camera. Esmeralda, her brown and white fur marked by a prominent white blaze, nestles against his chest and also gazes forward. A strong side light illuminates the intimate scene, leaving the background in deep shadow.
