The intricate carpet beneath them adds an element of opulence to the scene, while their traditional French attire and stylish hats evoke a sense of elegance. One intriguing aspect of this painting is the presence of a dwarf among the players. This inclusion highlights society's fascination with individuals who deviated from societal norms during that time period. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an avenue for exploring diversity and challenging conventional perceptions.
