"Le Château de Cartes" (The Card Castle), created by Swiss artist Jean-Michel Liotard between 1712 and 1772, depicts three children engrossed in the construction of a card castle. This charming and intimate scene, captured in a delicate black and white engraving, showcases the artist's skill in portraying the innocence and joy of childhood. Liotard's attention to detail is evident in the children's clothing and the surrounding objects, creating a realistic and captivating portrayal of everyday life. The playful composition, featuring a small dog observing the children's efforts, adds to the charm of this engaging and endearing artwork.
