This 18th-century playing card from the "Jeu d'Or" deck depicts a figure in traditional Chinese clothing. The card, titled "Hab.t de la Chine," is a testament to the fascination with foreign cultures during the period. The figure, rendered in simple, yet vibrant colors, is a stark contrast against the green background, capturing the attention of the viewer. This card, a small but significant piece of art, reveals a glimpse into the cultural exchange and artistic trends of the 18th century.
