picture card

Jack, queen, king

A picture card is a playing card that depicts a person rather than a number—the jack, queen, or king in a standard deck.

Also called a face card.

The term extends to any card featuring an image: vintage picture cards of baseball players, collectible picture cards from cigarette packs.
