Soldiers playing cards 

This is a drawing by Carlo Maratti, an Italian painter of the Baroque era. Depicting a group of soldiers playing cards, the work captures a moment of leisure in a military setting. Maratti's distinct style is visible in the flowing lines and subtle shading of the figures, emphasizing their casual postures and creating a sense of relaxed camaraderie. Though the specific date of the artwork is unknown, the subject matter reflects common themes in 17th-century art. This drawing is currently housed in the Städel Museum, a renowned art institution in Frankfurt, Germany.
