## Artwork

- Artist: [EECKHOUT, Gerbrand van den](<https://beta.wga.hu/artists/eeckhout-gerbrand-van-den-r43e26053fd8f18>)
- Date: 1651-1700

## Commentary

Contrary to the soldiers in the guardroom scenes by Codde and Duyster painted two decades before, Eeckhout presents officers cleansed of the rugged bearing and brutish behaviour of their counterparts in the genre paintings from the 1630s. These men play tric-trac in a gentlemanly manner.
