EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a lively scene of deception and amusement in an inn during a card game. Painted by Jan Miense Molenaer between 1640 and 1668, the artwork titled "Cheating at Cards, The False Card Game" portrays a group of individuals engrossed in their deceitful tactics. At the center of attention is a young woman who gleefully displays her cards, clearly reveling in her cunning strategy. Her opponent, an old man, appears perplexed as he scrutinizes his own hand with confusion. Behind him stands another woman holding up a mirror discreetly, suggesting that foul play may be at work. The setting exudes warmth and conviviality with its cozy fireplace on the right side and farmers enjoying drinks on the left. A faithful dog sits attentively nearby, perhaps sensing the tension in the air. Molenaer's masterful use of oil paint brings this scene to life on panel canvas measuring 48.5 cm high by 68.7 cm wide and 4.3 cm deep. This intriguing artwork offers us a glimpse into an era when card games were popular pastimes enjoyed within bustling coffee houses or public houses like this very inn depicted here. It serves as a reminder that even amidst laughter and camaraderie, one must always remain vigilant against those who seek to gain an unfair advantage through trickery and deception.
