This work is devoted to the analysis of the work of fine art "Card Players" by Paul Cezanne, created in 1895. The canvas was not analyzed from the point of view of a holistic philosophical and art history analysis using general scientific methods, on the basis of which it would be possible to identify the main artistic idea of the painting. The study was carried out by the method of philosophical and art history analysis, during which the material, index and iconic statuses of the artistic image were analyzed. The main artistic idea of the canvas is to compare human life with a card game: people, regardless of age and life experience, are not always able to predict, predict how many cards should be in the game and which ones they will get. The full outcome of any business started will depend on a variety of circumstances. Depending on the cards that have fallen out, a person, like a card player, carefully thinks through each move, tactics, thereby gaining new life experience, which is more useful than receiving material benefits.
