In 1900 only two paintings by la Tour were known. There is no indication of setting, just a blank background. ( Log Out /

The faces on the other people seem to support the general feeling of dishonesty that pervades this work of art. In his religious painting, la Tour’s light is famously nuanced; but here harsh light illuminates all, accentuating the tawdriness of it all – costume colours verge on garish, the female card player’s oval face and décolleté are glaringly lit. The figure on the is left is very brazen as he looks knowingly at the viewer with a slight smirk suggesting we look to his left hand where his “extra” cards are held in anticipation of making his move. There is much rich detail in the depictions of the cloth and, if you will, notice the feathers on the hat of the figure on the right. Meanwhile, the well-dressed youth on the right sits dimly pondering his hand, displaying absolutely no awareness of what is going on. There is a luminous quality to it, however, as the figures appear to be lit from some source slightly off to the left and out of frame. There is no record of his travels, if he made any, but his art reveals the influence of the art of Caravaggio and his followers, including Gerrit van Honthorst, who were fascinated with the representation of light. She seems to be signalling to the servant, in an orange turban with a feather, to find out what he's up to. next episode: maud. Distinguishing features: The woman with the long white face in the red headgear and brown dress, her necklace decorating a wide expanse of throat, looks suspiciously to the side and points a crooked finger at the man on the far left. They stand out forcefully in a crimson beacon. Are they in a brothel? In The Penitent Magdalene ( c1642-44), a woman with long, straight black hair sits by a table in the pale light of a slender flame burning in a glass. Who will make the next move in this little group? Subject: The theme of card cheats was a favourite of "genre" painting - the scenes from everyday life popular in later 16th- and 17th-century art. Yet this is more than an anecdote. The woman holding the bottle of champagne at centre left gazes toward us suggesting we may not have long to wait for the next play.
It is unclear if she is signalling to the cardsharp, who stares suspiciously out of the picture frame at something or someone unknown, or to the servant girl, who wears a distinctive orange turban as she serves wine and casts a sly glance at the dupe. All are alone: the stupid youth, the tough lady, the servant, the cheat. There's a comic excess to it; his cheating is not hard to discover and it might be just deserts for the peacock followers of fashion he is playing with, whose flouncy headdresses make them seem to have less inside their heads than they wear outside.
One evening some time later, Ed comes home and finds an envelope in his mailbox. Communication between lady and maid is indirect; neither of the men make eye contact.
La Tour rendered every detail with meticulous care, from the light refracted in the wine glass to the precise folds of the servant’s headdress. She's right to be mistrustful. This draws your eyes to what hands are being dealt, as it were.

It is as if the smallest breath of wind would cause them to move thus adding to the realism. Are the thieves working together? The scene feels set for tragedy: this is going to end badly for someone, if not all of them. Lying facedown on the floor while the robber wields a gun, Ed and Marv discuss the parking ticket Marv is going to receive.
This allowed him to set a specific focus of light onto his subjects which enhanced the shadows as well as lighting faces and clothing with a rich glow.
