Size 96 x 139 cm (155 x 200 cm with a frame)

The picture is a very good copy of the painting of the carters in the Dresden picture gallery (94.5 × 137 cm, gallery no. 408). The viewer witnesses how a naive young man is cheated in a card game. The theme goes back to a painting by Caravaggio from 1595/1596 (Ford Worth, Kimbell Art Museum), which was immediately taken up by a number of other artists. Valentin de Boulogne came to Rome in 1627 and became one of the most important French Caravaggists.
