The Poker Game
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and cheeky colour lithograph that captures the essence of sauciness, humour, and double entendre. Created by Lucien Henri Weiluc, this satirical drawing from the late 19th century depicts a group of amusing players engaged in a lively card game. Set in France, known for its rich gambling culture, the scene showcases men and women gathered around a table immersed in their poker game. The artist's clever use of caricature adds an extra layer of amusement to the image as he playfully exaggerates certain features and expressions. One cannot help but notice the risqué nature of this artwork. A mischievous man can be seen subtly groping at a woman's backside while she remains focused on her cards. This element adds an unexpected twist to an otherwise innocent card game, making it both scandalous and humorous. Weiluc's satirical approach shines through as he offers scathing commentary on French society during that era. Through his exaggerated characters and playful narrative, he highlights the vices associated with gambling while also poking fun at societal norms. This print serves as a reminder of Europe's diverse cultural heritage and its penchant for satire. It invites viewers to appreciate not only Weiluc's artistic talent but also his ability to capture moments infused with wit and irony.
