The use of bold lines and contrasting shades adds to the dramatic atmosphere, heightening the suspense within the scene. Vallotton's attention to detail is remarkable; each figure is meticulously rendered with distinct facial expressions that reveal their individual personalities and mindsets. Through subtle gestures and glances exchanged between them, he captures the competitive nature inherent in such games.
