A fine genre painting from the early 20th century, executed in oil on wood panel, signed F. Jarnot, titled "A Game of Piquet" and dated April 1907.

The painter pays particular attention to expressions, attitudes, and the interplay of light, creating a lively and intimate composition.
The palette, dominated by warm, earthy tones, as well as the free and expressive brushstrokes, are fully in keeping with the naturalist tradition of the late 19th and very early 20th centuries, demonstrating a keen sense of observation of daily life.
