Picasso was widely known as an animal lover and kept several pets. His passion for fauna appears in several mediums. Of the animals, goats were one of his favorite, and one his most widely-recognized depictions was his She-Goat (1950) sculpture in bronze, now in the Museum of Modern Art, New York. For ceramics, Picasso most often chose to present goats either alone in profile or playing in sylvan-settings with another favorite subject, half-man, half-goat mythological beings called fauns.
