"The Winning Hand" is a painting by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, an American artist best known for his series of paintings depicting anthropomorphized dogs playing poker. While Coolidge's poker series has gained significant popularity and recognition in American culture, "The Winning Hand" specifically refers to one of these paintings. Created in the early 20th century, Coolidge's work was commissioned by Brown & Bigelow to advertise cigars. The paintings have since become iconic in the United States, often seen as humorous takes on human behavior and a satirical commentary on the excesses of the Gilded Age.

"The Winning Hand," like the other paintings in the series, features a scene where dogs are engaged in a human activity, in this case, playing a game of poker. The dogs are typically depicted with expressive faces, wearing suits, and displaying various emotions and tells that one might observe in a poker game among humans. The artwork is characterized by its whimsical and anthropomorphic portrayal of the dogs, which has contributed to its enduring popularity and widespread reproduction on various merchandise.

They have been lauded for their charm and cleverness, while also being dismissed by some art critics as trivial or lowbrow. Despite this, Coolidge's work has left a lasting impression on American art and culture, with "The Winning Hand" being a notable example of his unique and playful artistic legacy.

The painting's influence extends beyond the art world, having been referenced in television shows, films, and other forms of media, further cementing its status as a cultural touchstone. "The Winning Hand" remains a beloved piece of Americana, embodying a quirky and lighthearted aspect of the country's artistic heritage.
