Cardsharps

Some surviving artworks are " Cardsharps " by Caravaggio (the backgammon board is in the lower left) and " The Triumph of Death " by Pieter Bruegel the Elder (the backgammon board is in the lower right).

The Cardsharps – showing another naïve youth of privilege falling the victim of card cheats – is even more psychologically complex, and perhaps Caravaggio's first true masterpiece.
