"Jongeman aan een tafel bouwt een kaartenhuis" (c. 1734-1811) is an etching by Antoine de Marcenay de Ghuy (1724-1811) depicting a young man seated at a table, intently constructing a house of cards. The scene is rendered in meticulous detail, capturing the quiet concentration of the subject and the surrounding clutter of playing cards scattered on the table. The drawing's intimate scale and focus on everyday activities showcase Ghuy's mastery of realism and his ability to elevate the mundane to the realm of art.
