Landscape with Dice Players is a 1650 oil by Unknown, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting depicts a landscape with two men playing dice under a tree. The scene is set in a rural area, with rolling hills and trees in the background. The men are dressed in simple clothing, and one of them is kneeling on the ground, while the other is standing and holding a dice cup. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and green dominating the palette. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the two men lost in their game. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The painting is held at the National Museum in Kraków.
