"The Backgammon Players" is a 17th-century painting by the Dutch artist Hendrick Ter Brugghen, who was a prominent figure in the Utrecht Caravaggism movement during the Dutch Golden Age. This genre painting, created in 1627, exemplifies Ter Brugghen's skill in capturing the effects of light and shadow, a technique influenced by the Italian master Caravaggio, whom Ter Brugghen admired and emulated following his stay in Italy from 1604 to 1614.

The painting depicts a scene of two men engaged in a game of backgammon, a popular pastime in the 17th century. The composition is noted for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, which serves to draw the viewer's attention to the players' faces and the game itself. The figures are rendered with a sense of realism and individual character, which is characteristic of Ter Brugghen's approach to genre scenes.

"The Backgammon Players" is considered an important work in Ter Brugghen's oeuvre as it showcases his ability to blend Northern European genre painting traditions with the innovative lighting and naturalism introduced by Caravaggio. The painting is also significant for its depiction of everyday life, providing insight into the social and cultural practices of the time.

The artwork is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art museums as part of exhibitions on Dutch genre paintings and Caravaggisti artists. As an example of Ter Brugghen's mature style, "The Backgammon Players" continues to be studied for its artistic and historical value, contributing to the understanding of the evolution of genre painting in the Dutch Golden Age.
