Peasants Playing Cards 

"Peasants Playing Cards," by Johann Andreas Herrlein, depicts a lively scene of everyday life in a tavern. The painting features a group of men seated around a table, engaged in a game of cards while a woman stands in the background holding a basket. Two children, one petting a dog and another watching the game, complete the scene. The artist's use of light and shadow, along with the relaxed poses of the figures, creates a sense of intimacy and realism, making this painting a quintessential example of genre painting. The painting is housed in the Städel Museum.
