At first glance, this looks like an ordinary card game, but a closer look reveals that one of the players is about to be cheated. As the young man focuses on his hand, his opponent secretly pulls a hidden card from behind his belt while an accomplice peers over the victim’s shoulder, carefully signaling the next move. Caravaggio turns the viewer into a silent witness to the deception, inviting us to notice the clues before the unsuspecting player does.
