Avec privilege du Roi" CRE LEPICIE, Renee, Elisabeth, Marie; (French; 1714-1773) AFTER CHARDIN, Jean-Baptiste, Simeon; (French; 1699-1779) Purchased with the help of the National Fund for Acquistions. LABEL " The House of Cards is one of several variations on the same subject. The earliest painted version, now in the Rostchild Collection at Waddesdon Manor, was sold in London in 1765 as a pendant to the Hunterian's Lady Taking Tea and is represented in the Hunterian collection by a reproductive etching by Marcenay de Guy. This print was engraved after a later painting (now in the National Gallery, London) dealing with the same composition and subject-matter. It is of particular interest since purchasers of the January 1762 number of the British Magazine were offered a free copy of this engraving, thus illustrating the early interest in London for Chardin's work.
