Showing 5 people of whom 4 are seated. 3 Ladies and 2 gentlemen. 1 seated gentleman leaning over looking perplexed, dressed in light green period costume with long frilly ruff lace cuffs and wearing his white hair cover peruke, he appears to be losing and is caught in deep strategic thought pondering about the game his next move.
His opponent is seated in a fancy gilt chair with rich oxblood fabric, a nubile young lady wearing a full length light pink dress with large wide frilly lace cuffs and has white bow decorations running down her top, her dress has golden pattern decorations all around, she has ginger hair and is wearing a double pearl necklace, in her long tall hair are garlands of pink & white flowers on top. She looks rather confident and is focused about to play her next move as she is reaching out for a chess piece.
To her left just behind her is her friend also seated on a large chaise lounge sofa, who is wearing a grey dress with a pink rose on her top and having a gold pendant around her neck, with a tall white hair piece cover with a black bow on top. She is holding a decorative hand fan. She is gazing with curiosity to the chess board. Further over to the right is a tall torchere stand with a beautiful blue & gold planter vase which has numerous pink flowers displayed, at the bottom is another brass floor planter with large yellow flowers. In the centre is a table covered with a fine green velvet with gold pattern cover, the chess board is on top showing the various black & white chess pieces.
Above another gentlemen dressed in a deep purple waistcoat with ruffle shirt underneath, looking rather amused he is leaning over slightly with 1 of his hands resting on the other side of the table with his other hand on his side.
