The Tric-Trac Players is a 1660 by Philips Koninck, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows three people playing a game at a table. One person is standing, wearing a hat and holding a stick, while the other two sit with focused expressions. The table has a flat surface and a small box on it, maybe for game pieces. The lines are loose and quick, giving a rough, sketchy feel. The standing player’s hat has a feather or decoration, adding a small detail that stands out. The scene looks lively, like a moment frozen in time.
