Le tric-trac is a 1745 ink by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas, a Baroque work, depicting Playing, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man hunched over a backgammon board. Light cuts across the room, leaving half his face in shadow. This is an engraving by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas. He etched it in 1757, using fine lines to show a quiet, everyday moment. The lines are sharp and precise, like a sketch you’d see under a magnifying glass.
