"A Game of Croquet, 1872" is an oil painting by French artist Louise Abbéma, who was known for her work during the Belle Époque. Born in Étampes, Essonne, Abbéma was a prolific painter, sculptor, and designer, as well as an early female student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The painting depicts a leisurely scene of elegantly dressed figures engaged in a game of croquet, a popular pastime in the 19th century among the European upper class.

The artwork is characteristic of Abbéma's style, which often captured the social activities and fashions of her time, with a particular focus on the portrayal of women in society. "A Game of Croquet" is notable for its vibrant color palette, attention to detail in the clothing and expressions of the figures, and the depiction of the relaxed, yet sophisticated, atmosphere of the era's outdoor social gatherings.

Louise Abbéma was also recognized for her close association with the actress Sarah Bernhardt, who was both her muse and a frequent subject of her portraits. While "A Game of Croquet" does not feature Bernhardt, it is a fine example of Abbéma's broader body of work, which often celebrated the leisure and luxury of Parisian life.

The painting is a testament to Abbéma's skill in capturing the nuances of light and shadow, as well as her ability to render textures and materials, from the grass of the croquet lawn to the fabrics of the participants' attire. As a woman artist working in a male-dominated field, Abbéma's contributions to the art world during her time were significant, and her works, including "A Game of Croquet," continue to be studied and appreciated for their historical and cultural relevance, as well as their aesthetic appeal.
