Party of Armenians Playing Cards — Jean Baptiste Vanmour

Jean Baptiste Vanmour. Painted c. 1720 - c. 1737.

Men and women while away the evening playing cards. The atmosphere is informal: the man in the foreground shows keen interest in his dining partner. As in Vanmour other ‘Turkish’ paintings, he accurately documented the details of the clothing, such as the fur-trimmed coats typically worn by Armenian men.
