The Gambler 

"The Gambler" is a painting by Richard Lindner (1901-1978), depicting a bald, bare-chested man with a mustache in profile. The subject is framed by geometric patterns and symbols, including playing cards, a roulette wheel, and an arrow. The background is dominated by a dark, almost abstract palette, with touches of bright red and yellow. This work reflects Lindner's signature style of combining realism with abstract elements, creating a visually striking and thought-provoking image.
