About this work
A young woman in a wide red hat and a voluminous red-and-green harlequin-patterned dress sits beside a round chess table strewn with fallen pawns and pieces, a cup of coffee at her elbow. Three hairless cats perch and prowl around the room, while potted topiary spirals and sheer curtains frame a checkerboard floor that dissolves into a distant garden and lake.
Saturated reds and greens are set against cool teal foliage and a soft pastel sky, the flattened patterning and diamond tiles giving the space a stage-like, dreamlike unreality. Smooth, evenly lit brushwork and crisp contour lines lend the scene a decorative, storybook stillness, playful rather than tense despite the abandoned game.
