Two of Batons 1751

"Two of Batons" is a hand-painted playing card created by Claude Burdel in 1751. It depicts two crossed batons with ornate detailing, each with a gold knob and a blue orb at the tip. The batons are surrounded by stylised floral motifs in gold and blue. This card is part of a larger deck of playing cards, demonstrating Burdel's skill in creating intricate and visually appealing artwork for everyday objects. The card is now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
