Félix Vallotton's woodcut *Le Poker* (1902) depicts a tense card game with stark contrasts and caricatured figures, showcasing his graphic style and social commentary.
Félix Vallotton's 1902 woodcut, *Le Poker*, presents a darkly humorous scene of men engaged in a card game. Vallotton, a Swiss artist associated with the Post-Impressionist movement and a member of the Nabis group, was known for his stark, graphic style and his ability to convey complex social commentary through simplified forms. This print exemplifies his skill in reducing figures and settings to their essential elements, creating a powerful visual impact. The composition is dominated by strong contrasts of black and white. Five figures are seated around a table, illuminated by the flickering light of candles. The faces of the men are rendered with a caricatured quality, their expressions suggesting a mixture of concentration, suspicion, and perhaps a hint of malice. The stark lighting casts deep shadows, heightening the sense of drama and intrigue. Vallotton's use of the woodcut medium lends itself perfectly to this aesthetic, with its bold lines and flat planes of colour contributing to the overall sense of tension and unease. *Le Poker* is a striking example of Vallotton's ability to capture the complexities of human interaction through a distinctive and compelling visual language.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
