"A Kortegaardje Officers and Campfollowers Playing Tric-Trac in a Guardroom, Others Distributing the Loot Nearby" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Jacob Duck. This artwork is an example of a "guardroom scene," a genre that Duck, along with other artists of the Dutch Golden Age, helped to popularize. The painting depicts a lively interior where officers and camp followers engage in leisure activities, with a particular focus on the game of tric-trac, an early form of backgammon. The scene is set in a guardroom, a common setting for such genre paintings, which often included soldiers at rest or in merry company.

Jacob Duck, active from about 1628 to 1667, was known for his genre scenes that frequently featured soldiers and their interactions with civilians, often with an underlying moral or satirical message. In "A Kortegaardje Officers and Campfollowers Playing Tric-Trac in a Guardroom, Others Distributing the Loot Nearby," Duck captures the contrast between the merriment of the foreground and the more sobering act of distributing loot in the background, possibly commenting on the transient nature of military glory and fortune.

The painting is characterized by Duck's attention to detail, the play of light and shadow, and the skillful depiction of textures and materials. The figures are rendered with a sense of individuality, while their postures and expressions convey the casual atmosphere of the guardroom. The artwork serves as a valuable historical document, providing insight into the social dynamics and daily life within military circles during the Dutch Golden Age.

As a significant work by Jacob Duck, this painting contributes to the understanding of genre painting in the 17th century and offers a window into the cultural and social milieu of the period. It remains an important piece for scholars studying the Dutch Golden Age, military history, and the evolution of genre painting in European art history.
