The Tric-Trac Players by Philips de Koninck: A sepia-toned sketch on aged paper depicting three men playing Tric-Trac, a board game. The man on the left is leaning on the table with both hands; he has short hair and wears 17th-century clothing. The man in the middle sits with his back to the viewer, wearing a cap and leaning over the game board. The man on the right stands with his hands outstretched; he wears a hat with a feather and 17th-century attire. The game board sits on a rectangular table with a jug underneath. A small circular monogram is visible in the bottom-left corner. The overall composition shows a casual, indoor scene.
