Triktrakspelers 17th century

"Triktrakspelers" is a 17th-century etching by the artist P. Zaal depicting a group of men playing a game of triktrak, a type of backgammon. The composition is intimate, focusing on the players' concentrated expressions as they engage in the game. The etching showcases Zaal's detailed rendering of figures and textiles, capturing the atmosphere of a casual gathering. The small size of the work (97 mm x 99 mm) suggests it may have been a personal study or intended for a private collection.
