What is the name of Pablo Picasso's sculpture of a goat?

Pablo Picasso’s sculpture of a goat is called *She-Goat*.

Picasso created the original mixed-media assemblage in Vallauris in 1950, during a period when discarded and everyday objects became important parts of his sculptural practice. Rather than modelling the animal conventionally, he constructed its body from found materials, including a wicker basket for the rib cage and ceramic vessels for the udders.

The work was later cast in bronze, with casts dated 1952. This can cause a small dating mix-up: 1950 refers to the original sculpture, while 1952 often refers to a particular bronze cast. The title may also appear as *La Chèvre* in French, literally “The She-Goat,” but *She-Goat* is the standard English title.

The sculpture reflects Picasso’s interest in assemblage, in which unrelated objects are transformed through combination and context. Its recognisable animal form remains lively and naturalistic despite the deliberately unconventional construction.
