The oil on canvas The Card Players is just one of several paintings by Cezanne with the motif of male card players in a cafe. The painter added accents in red to the dark tones of the clothes, and he brightened up the wall on the left side of the painting with a mixture of green, blue, gray, white and ruby brushstrokes. These vibrant streams of color are reminiscent of the light in Provence.
