Piccaso at Christmas with Esmeralda, the goat he received from Jacqueline. Jacqueline, Paloma Picasso, Catherine Hutin. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

During a Christmas celebration at his villa La Californie in Cannes, 1956, Pablo Picasso stands with Esmeralda, the goat he received as a gift from Jacqueline Roque. Dressed in a plaid shirt, the artist looks down with a slight smile as the goat gazes at the camera. At the base of a nearby Christmas tree, Paloma Picasso and Catherine Hutin are seated on the floor among their toys. The intimate, informal scene is set within the artist's studio-home, with various sculptures, including a small owl, visible in the background.
