The card player with the red beret in the present work recalls the pose of the figure in the artist’s painting entitled The Smoker, conserved in the Villa Vauban, Luxembourg (inv. no. 341).

The artist was so successful with his genre scenes that Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria, an important collector for whom he had worked since 1647, appointed him court painter in 1651.
