An oil painting of seven anthropomorphic octopuses in 1900s suits playing poker around a green-felt table in a smoky, dimly lit room.

Oil painting in the style of Cassius Marcellus Coolidge’s “Dogs Playing Poker”: a dimly lit smoky room with a round green-felt poker table. Seven anthropomorphic octopuses sit around the table like humans, wearing early 1900s suits, vests, and bow ties. They are playing poker, with cards, chips, cigars, and drinks on the table. One octopus subtly slides an ace under the table to another octopus as a secret cheat. Dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, vintage illustration style, detailed, humorous, warm sepia tones, high detail, classic American kitsch art. Mehr sehen
