About Billiards. Froze together

The artwork titled “Billiards. Froze Together,” created by Currier and Ives in 1874, belongs to the Romanticism movement and is a caricature within the “Billiards” series.

In the artwork, three figures are presented around a billiards table. An elderly gentleman, appearing focused and slightly hunched, aims his cue stick near a pair of billiard balls positioned close together. Beside him, a young couple is intimately posed; the man holds a cue stick while the woman leans affectionately on him. The billiards table stands prominently in the foreground, and the scene is suggestive of both leisure and a gently humorous social commentary, typical of the caricature genre. The period attire and detailed expressions contribute to the artwork’s romantic and nostalgic atmosphere.
