ArtistColour painting. 1810s Russia. A group of young aristocrats and army officers are playing cards together.
A group of five men and one woman sit around a round wooden table draped with a green cloth, illuminated by the warm glow of three candles in an ornate silver candelabra. They are engrossed in a card game, with cards, casino chips, and scattered money on the table. Four of the individuals, three men and the woman, are seated chairs upholstered in green fabric. The men on the left and right are wearing military-style uniforms, one a blue coat with gold epaulets and a red collar, the other a green coat with gold braiding. The man in the foreground wears a long gray coat with red trim over tan pants, while the man to his right wears a black coat over a patterned vest and white ascot. The woman behind the candelabra is dressed in a light blue off-the-shoulder gown, her hair intricately styled. Behind her, a large window with heavy gold-fringed green curtains looks out into the dark night. To the left of the window, a grandfather clock with a pendulum hangs on the wall. Below the clock, a samovar and teacups are visible on a side table. To the right, a white tiled stove stands against the wall with a framed portrait hanging above
