Banditti Gambling 1780

"Banditti Gambling" is an engraving by John Hall, created in 1780. Depicting three men, likely bandits, engaged in a game of chance, the piece showcases the artist's ability to capture the details of their clothing and expressions. The scene, set against a simple backdrop of rocks and foliage, emphasizes the figures' actions and the tension of the moment. This print, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Hall's talent for portraying the drama and excitement of everyday life during his time.
