About the piece

Painted in 1902, this work by Félix Vallotton showcases the artist’s characteristic use of flat color and dramatic shadow. The composition draws the eye through a dark, intimate room where figures are huddled over a game of poker, creating a sense of psychological depth and quiet tension typical of the Nabi movement.
