Enlarged (click to enlarge even more, diameter of original is about 14.6") available from here. Children (this painting, of a girl playing with dominoes, is the last of the to be continued paintings) were a common theme of this revered Swiss artist. So far, 3 works by this artist have appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog.
@Dogsniff, I guess no one else can see those are dominos (not cards). Many I’ve had were not very sharp corners, which might make stacking them difficult. I did not have many toys but I remember using them for walls and marbles for the people. I think I may have used my parent’s Majong blocks (ivory and bamboo).
enlarged here, if you tap it http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/anker_albert.htmlI have to find them myself. The dominoes that my X and friends gambled with came in a wooden box like that.
