EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning coloured wood engraving of the Queen and Jack playing cards, created by an anonymous French School artist in the 17th century. The artwork is housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, adding to its historical significance. The image depicts two court cards, specifically the Dames et Valets de carreau et coeur (Queens and Jacks of diamonds and hearts), beautifully printed by Hector de Trois in Paris. The intricate details of this xylograph are truly mesmerizing, capturing every line and curve with precision. The vibrant pochoir colours bring life to these iconic playing card characters, making them even more enchanting. It's as if they are ready to jump off the sheet and engage in a thrilling game right before our eyes. This artwork not only represents a piece of history but also symbolizes the timeless allure of card games. Whether it be for leisure or competition, cards have always been a source of entertainment throughout generations. As we admire this remarkable engraving from Bridgeman Images' collection at Fine Art Finder, we can't help but imagine ourselves joining these players at their table. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transport us into different worlds and evoke emotions that transcend time itself.
