Stud Poker 1933 - 1943

"Stud Poker" (1933-1943) is a lithograph by the American artist Charles Alston. Depicting four Black men engaged in a game of poker, Alston’s work captures a moment of casual leisure, showcasing the social dynamics of a community gathering. The artist's use of subtle light and shadow adds depth and drama to the scene, emphasizing the intimacy of the gathering. The artwork is now held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
