A Card Game Between Soldiers, A Siege Scene During The Reign Of Louis XV
Soldiers sit on half-barrels around a drum, which serves as a table for a card game near a cannon. To the right, an officer commands troops; in the background, the besieged city is visible. The scene depicted is typical of a genre of military paintings illustrating the daily life of ordinary soldiers, the most illustrious representative of which in the 18th century was Antoine Watteau. The painting was relined and restored fairly recently and is framed in a Louis XVI style giltwood and stucco frame. Without this frame, it measures 53 x 60 cm.
