Los jugadores de cartas

1890–92
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 826
Entre 1890 y 1896, Cézanne produjo una ambiciosa serie de pinturas sobre el tema de los jugadores de cartas. Utilizó como modelos a los campesinos de la finca familiar, cerca de Aix-en-Provence. Tras numerosos estudios preparatorios, realizó cinco composiciones que desarrollan, y cuestionan, la representación tradicional de un tema popular desde el siglo XVII. El lienzo del Museo parece ser el primero de la serie. Tras pintar una segunda versión dos veces más grande con una figura adicional (un niño de pie), Cézanne eliminó los detalles superfluos en las tres versiones posteriores y limitó la composición a dos jugadores de cartas enfrentados con la mesa de por medio.
