Interior with Figures Playing Tric-trac is a 1690 oil by Frans van Mieris the Elder, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The painting, "Interior with Figures Playing Tric-trac," depicts a serene scene of three individuals engaged in a game of tric-trac. The woman, dressed in a brown dress, stands beside a column, holding a piece of paper. The two men, one wearing a black coat and the other a red robe, sit at a table, intently focused on the game. The room's atmosphere is characterized by a sense of calmness, with the warm glow of the setting sun casting a gentle light on the scene. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a striking contrast between light and dark, adding depth to the painting.
