Theme from the Venetian Carnival – Gambling House (Il Ridotto) is a 1799 oil by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a lively scene of people gathered in a large room, with some standing and others seated. The room is decorated with red walls, chandeliers, and a few windows. In the foreground, a group of people are dressed in 18th-century attire, including hats, cloaks, and long dresses. The atmosphere appears to be one of socializing and possibly gambling, given the title of the painting. The artist has used oil paint to create a sense of depth and texture in the scene.
