Description: Rebecca Crawley learns against the back of George Osborne’s chair, flattering him about his appearance and teasing him about his bad habits. He is turned slightly to look at her, while Rawdon Crawley sits opposite him, smoking. The men are each holding two cards in their game of écarté. A portrait with two figures hangs on the wall next to the table.
