This charcoal drawing, "Ein Kartenspieler auf einem Stuhl sitzend", by Gerard ter Borch the Younger, depicts a seated figure, likely a man, holding cards in one hand and a playing card in the other. The composition is simple, focusing on the figure's gesture and posture. Ter Borch was known for his detailed depictions of everyday life, and this sketch suggests a study for a larger composition. The artist's mastery of charcoal is evident in the subtle shading and expressive lines of the drawing. The work is part of the Städel Museum collection.
