A card game.

This painting is by Judith Leyster and it is depicting four people who are playing a card game on what seems to be a barrel. Their expressions show that they are happy playing the game and happy being surrounded by one another since their gazes all seem to show fondness for each other. For the most part they are all looking in different directions but, the common theme here is happiness. It could be that possibly they are all friends enjoying a game.
In the painting it seems judith leyster has captured them in a moment. Because of the way the woman's hands are. The color and light sceme stuck out to me in this picture because all three in the back are shown in dark colors while the women in the front is depicted wearing bright colors and the light is shining upon her. I took that as them showing adoration for her. Perhaps all three in the back seem to like her company. I think this painting brings out Judtith Leysters talent of depicting still lifes and genre scenes and scenes of entertainment.
