About the piece
Painted in 1889 by Jean Béraud, 'La salle de jeu' offers a sophisticated glimpse into the social life of the Parisian elite during the Belle Époque. The dramatic chiaroscuro effect, created by the intense glow of the table lamps against the dark, opulent interior, heightens the sense of focus and anticipation among the players. Béraud's keen eye for social nuance and atmospheric detail brings this quintessential moment of the Gilded Age to life.
