The work was commissioned by Henri de La Ferté-Senneterre, governor of Lorraine, where La Tour lived and worked.[4] de La Ferté-Senneterre is recorded as paying 650 francs for a work entitled The Denial of St Peter in 1650, possibly the work now in Nantes. He was then one of the most important collectors of La Tour's work.[5]
The work's approach is very Caravagist, sidelining the work's supposed main subject and placing the soldiers gaming at a table at its centre.[1] In 17th century French society, "gaming was inseparable from luxury"[6] and was evidence of "indifference to salvation" - a similar link is made in the artist's The Card Sharp with the Ace of Diamonds, contemporary with Tristan L'Hermite's The Disgraced Page.[6] The gaming soldiers also refer forwards in time to those casting lots for Jesus' clothing at the foot of the cross.[7]
