About the piece
Painted in 1885 by Swedish artist Anna Palm de Rosa, this evocative work captures a game of l'hombre at the famous Brøndum's Hotel. The composition is defined by its dramatic chiaroscuro, as the glow of a single candle cuts through the hazy, smoke-filled room, highlighting the focused expressions of the players in an intimate, late-night moment.
