Note: Norton Internet Security has been known to surpress the display of the first two pictures incorrectly thinking they are advertisements. I do not know how to fix the problem permanently. If you encounter this problem then a workaround is to turn off ad blocking temporarily.

The Card Players, Adriaen Brouwer, c. 1630

(My all-time favourite despite being a copy of Caravaggio.
This picture is a bit small to do it justice.
What a pro the cheater on the left is to look more innocent than the dupe.)
The Young Cardplayers, c.1630-40? Attributed to Louis Le Nain (1600/10-1648)
