It is not always clear whether the pasticci were made by him or by his studio. Not all pasticci have survived., playing-cards (sportsman, player, etc.), A monochrome engraving shows a group of people gathered around a table, all wearing period clothing and hats with various plumes and brims; one figure leans on the table with a hand resting on its edge while holding a small fan, another figure beside him places a hand on his shoulder and looks toward him, a seated young person at the table studies small cards or pieces of paper with hands close together, a contemplative figure rests a head on a hand with an elbow on the table, and two older bearded men stand at the sides observing; the scene is detailed with crosshatched shading, textured fabrics, folds in garments, and visible wood grain on the tabletop.
