Hab.t de la Corse, from the playing cards (for quartets) "Costumes des Peuples Étrangers" 18th century

"Hab.t de la Corse" is a playing card from the 18th century series "Costumes des Peuples Étrangers" (Costumes of Foreign Peoples) from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The card depicts a man and a woman in traditional Corsican attire. The man is in a blue jacket and pants, while the woman is in a red dress and a green shawl. The card was designed to be used in a game of "quartets" and features the number 48 on the bottom. The card's depiction of Corsican fashion and the game's association with it make it a fascinating example of 18th century playing card design and European cultural exchange.
