EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil painting titled "Backgammon Players" artist Christoffel Jacobsz van der Lamen takes us back in time to witness an intimate moment between two individuals engrossed in a game of tric trac. The composition is beautifully executed on a panel, measuring 49x64 cm, and currently resides at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Dunkirk, France. The scene unfolds within an elegant interior setting, where the male and female players are seated opposite each other at a table adorned with the intricate board game. Their attention is solely focused on the game before them as they strategize their moves with utmost concentration. Both figures are dressed in period attire; the man dons a cape that adds an air of sophistication to his presence while the woman exudes gracefulness through her posture. The artist's meticulous brushwork captures every detail from their facial expressions to their body language, allowing us to feel as if we were present in that very room. This artwork transcends time and reminds us of the timeless joy found in playing games together. It serves as a testament to human connection and camaraderie across centuries. Van der Lamen's mastery brings life to this moment frozen in time, inviting viewers into this private world shared by these backgammon enthusiasts.
