Trompe l'Oeil: A Full House with Chips and a $5 Bill

Amerikanische Grafik 1893–1901, c. 1895

The image shows a five-dollar bill positioned horizontally in the foreground, with five playing cards and several poker chips partially beneath and beside it. The color palette includes earthy tones on the bill and a mix of bright red, blue, and white on the poker chips, along with multicolored designs on the playing cards. The cards fan out diagonally on the left side behind the bill, while the chips are scattered around the lower left and right edges of the card spread, with the central bill overlaying some of them.
