"Men Throwing Dice" is an anonymous black and white drawing from the 16th century depicting a scene of gambling. Four men, richly dressed, stand around a table with a patterned cloth, possibly playing a game of chance. The detailed clothing of the figures suggests a focus on the social hierarchy of the time. The scene is framed by decorative drapery, hinting at an opulent setting. This drawing provides a glimpse into the leisure activities of the wealthy during the Renaissance, and the artwork's small size suggests it may have been a personal study or sketch.
