"The gambler, in shirt and breeches, sits beside his bed registering rage and despair. Beside him (right) is a round table on which are a cocked pistol, a purse, dice and dice-box, an open pocket-book inscribed 'Money Lost 10.000'. A lighted candle is broken. His comely wife looks at him in startled horror from the curtained bed."--British Museum online catalogue.
