Study after Caravaggio's 'The Cardsharps' with color notes 1600-1700 Anonymous, Italian This powerfully rendered scene of Cardsharps by a game table is based on a composition by Caravaggio of the same subject (Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth), painted about 1595-1600, but is not an exact reprise of the painting.
