"Hab.t du Méxique" is an 18th-century playing card from the "Jeu d'Or" deck, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The card depicts a man, possibly a Mexican, dressed in colorful clothing and carrying a bundle on his back. The card's design, like other "Jeu d'Or" cards, features a combination of text and images, creating a unique visual narrative. The anonymous artist uses a vibrant palette and intricate detail to depict the man's attire and accessories, providing a glimpse into the dress and customs of the time.
