Description
After Theodor Rombouts.
After climbing with pins, it's time for the descent. The contemplation of paintings presenting card players suggested to me a kind of slide which would materialize the trajectory of the card held in the raised hand until it is placed on the gaming table. This time the allegorical model of the viewer is initially jostled, and exposed in her inability to appreciate the vision of the paintings. Many genre scenes featuring card players show ambiguous relationships between men and women, some based on domination, at least through the gaze. After the pivot point of the fall, I propose the reconstruction of another look articulated to an evolution in the choice of paintings. As before, several evolutionary processes punctuate this sequence of 20 images; To you to discover them.
Thank you for the view and your comments.

In the Theodoor (not Theodor) Rombouts painting I see a woman very confidently playing cards with three men (two of the fellows are quite young and appear almost feminine). Our contemporary lady is looking very confident and is standing upon a very good Poker hand: 4 aces and a queen. She is drawn to a tiny crown that has appeared and is perhaps her goal. This series is so enjoyable, I am glad I've worked my way through all of it. =)

The crown appears as if by magic above the Queen of Spades, it announces the future Red Queen that the young woman will become.
