Men Throwing Dice

German 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows four individuals gathered in front of a decorated tent or canopy. One person stands to the left, facing away from the viewer, dressed in elaborate clothing with a long cloak, doublet, and hose. The second person stands to the right, leaning slightly, and wears an ornate robe. Behind them, two individuals are partially obscured. One is turned toward the person on the right, with finely detailed attire and a headpiece with a veil. All individuals are adorned with draped clothing. The tent or canopy is decorated with floral ornaments, ribbons and bows. In the background, there is an intricately carved or embroidered panel.
