La Dame de Carreau

The use of playing cards has its roots in Antiquity. They have been seen at times as a sign of debauchery, at times as talismans capable of bestowing success and fortune. Despite these differing perceptions, one fact endures: cards fascinate. La Dame de Carreau embodies the complexity of the cards: she declares to the world that she fears neither the game nor the risk. She also knows how to set her own rules of the game.
