"Nine of Hearts, from a Set of Piquet Cards" is a hand-painted playing card created by Claude Fayolle, a French artist active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The card, featuring a simple design of nine red hearts against a cream-colored background, exemplifies the traditional aesthetics of French cardmaking. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship involved in creating these everyday objects during the period.
