Cohen's recreation of Caravaggio's The Cardsharps using items found within his home. A photograph of a father and his sons.
Image Description: A side-by-side comparison featuring Caravaggio’s The Cardsharps on the left and Cohen’s contemporary recreation on the right. Both scenes show three figures gathered around a table during a card game. The individuals mirror one another in pose, positioning, and expression, while similar clothing colors and table arrangements reinforce the visual connection between the two works. The recreation closely imitates the composition of the original painting, using household items and improvised costumes to emulate the period attire and accessories.
