I did say I wouldn’t be boring you to death with biographical information that can be found on our website but in Trotin’s case the story is just too good

Backgammon Players Still Lifes " -Matthew HallArtist Notes 'The figures here are from the Tarot deck but changed. The Star (Aquarius) has put down the water jug. The Star and the Hanged Man both take a break, to play backgammon or just chill. The Hanged Man still has his legs crossed here in the shape of the number 4 which is something significant in Tarot it indicates a benign ruler. Self ruler too, I suppose.'
