The Card Sharp with the Ace of Diamonds
The Card Sharp with the Ace of Diamonds is a painting produced around 1636-1638 by Georges de La Tour, now in the Louvre, which bought it in 1972. Though its commissioner is unknown, it is signed Georgius De La Tour fecit under the card sharp's elbow and in the shadow of the tablecloth.
A second autograph version, with "abundant variations in details of color, clothing, and accessories" was purchased in 1981 by the Kimbell Art Foundation and is on display in the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.
