Detailed Description
This painting depicts four men in an interior setting, rendered with visible brushstrokes and a muted color palette. Three men are seated around a light-colored wooden table, playing cards, while a fourth man stands behind them. The man on the far left is seated in profile, facing right, wearing a brown jacket and a brown hat. He has a mustache and beard and looks down at the cards on the table. His hands rest on the table near a small pile of cards. The man in the center is also seated, facing slightly left, dressed in a light-colored shirt and a dark hat, holding cards in his hands and looking down. The man on the right is seated in profile, facing left, wearing a dark blue coat and a dark hat, with a mustache, looking at the cards. Behind the table, a man stands, facing forward but looking slightly right. He wears a dark jacket, a red scarf, and a dark hat, and holds a pipe in his mouth. The table is light gray or white, featuring a single drawer. On its surface, besides the cards, are a small white pipe and a dark, indistinct object. The background wall is a muted blue-green, with lighter, textured patches. To the right, a heavy, textured brown curtain hangs. Above the standing man's head, three dark, pipe-like objects are mounted vertically on the wall. The overall lighting is subdued.
