looking back to the 1880s rather than the 1920s when it was probably painted

it is a wonderful painting

I did say I wouldn’t be boring you to death with biographical information that can be found on our website but in Trotin’s case the story is just too good

Backgammon Players Still Lifes locked down safelyArtist Notes 'The figures here are from the Tarot deck but changed. The Star (Aquarius) has put down the water jug. The Star and the Hanged Man both take a break, to play backgammon or just chill. The Hanged Man still has his legs crossed here in the shape of the number 4 which is something significant in Tarot it indicates a benign ruler. Self ruler too, I suppose.'
