A Kick-up at a Hazard Table

Thomas Rowlandson, gepubliceerd 1787

The image shows an intense scenario at a gambling table. The scene features numerous animated figures in a room gathered around a table, some engaged in a brawl. The figures are drawn in an exaggerated style, depicting one holding a chair above their head and another pointing a pistol. Objects on the table include candles, coins, cards, and a fallen top hat. The room is crowded with figures dressed in 18th-century attire, such as tricorne hats and waistcoats. The background is simple, offering minimal detail. This painting captures the frenzy and disorder often associated with gambling disputes. The style is reminiscent of Thomas Rowlandson.
