This anonymous drawing, created around 1470, depicts a playing card. The faded ink outlines a simple design that likely represented a suit from a deck of cards. The lack of color and detail in the drawing may be due to age and wear, suggesting this card was frequently used. While the specific suit is difficult to determine, the artwork provides insight into the evolution of playing card designs and the historical use of these objects in 15th-century Europe.
