"A Boy and Two Girls Building a House of Cards with Other Games by the Table" is an 18th-century oil painting by French artist François-Hubert Drouais. Created in 1758, this Rococo period artwork captures a moment of domestic leisure, depicting three children engrossed in the delicate task of constructing a house of cards. The painting is notable for its fine detail, the softness of its colors, and the light-hearted yet intimate portrayal of childhood.

Drouais, born in Paris in 1727, was renowned for his portraiture, and this painting is a fine example of his ability to combine portraiture with genre scenes. The work reflects the era's fascination with childhood innocence and the burgeoning genre of scenes from everyday life. The children, likely from the aristocracy or the burgeoning bourgeoisie, are dressed in the fashion of the time, and their concentration on the game is juxtaposed with the array of other games scattered on the table, suggesting the wealth of leisure activities available to the upper classes.

The painting's composition, with its attention to the play of light and shadow, as well as the psychological interaction between the figures, is characteristic of Drouais's style. The artist's skill in rendering textures, from the fabric of the children's clothing to the cards themselves, adds to the painting's charm and realism.

"A Boy and Two Girls Building a House of Cards with Other Games by the Table" is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of the social and cultural context of the French Rococo movement. This work remains an important example of Drouais's oeuvre and provides insight into the leisurely pursuits and material culture of 18th-century French society.
