"A Boy and Two Girls Building a House of Cards with Other Games by the Table" is an 18th-century oil painting by the French artist François-Hubert Drouais (1727–1775). Drouais, known for his portraiture, captures a domestic scene of leisure and play, a subject that resonated with the Rococo sensibilities of his time. The painting depicts three children, a boy and two girls, deeply engaged in the delicate task of constructing a house of cards. The scene is set against a backdrop that suggests an affluent household, with the children dressed in fine clothing, indicative of their social status.

The composition of the painting is carefully arranged to draw the viewer's attention to the central activity, while also including various other games scattered on the table, which add to the narrative of childhood pastimes. The artwork is imbued with a sense of transient stability, as the house of cards represents both the fragility of the moment and the carefree nature of youth.

François-Hubert Drouais was a prominent portraitist in the court of Louis XV and is celebrated for his depictions of the French aristocracy, including the royal family. His works are characterized by their elegance, vibrant colors, and the skillful rendering of fabrics and textures. "A Boy and Two Girls Building a House of Cards with Other Games by the Table" exemplifies Drouais's adeptness at capturing the innocence and playfulness of children, a theme less commonly explored in his oeuvre, which primarily focused on formal portraiture.

The painting is a testament to the Rococo style's fascination with themes of pleasure and entertainment, and it offers a glimpse into the private lives of the French elite during the period. Today, the work is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insights into the cultural practices and social norms of the time.
