"Kaartspelers" ("Card Players") is a drawing by the Dutch artist Cornelis Brouwer, created in 1777. It depicts two men playing cards, with the figure in the foreground leaning forward with a focused expression, while the figure in the background appears more casual. Brouwer's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, bringing the scene to life in the viewer's mind. This drawing is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
