This 18th-century playing card from the "Jeu d'Or" deck features a stylized figure of "F. d'Ulietca" holding a playing card. The card, depicting a spade, represents the suit of spades, and the figure's attire, a feathered headdress and yellow sash, suggest a character from a story or myth. The vibrant colors and delicate lines contribute to the charm of this small, yet detailed, card, which is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of anonymous cardmakers of the time.
