The Chess Players Painting (1929) by John Lavery (1856-1941)
Sent in by Paulo Rafael – Brazil
He’s also known as Sir John Lavery because he was knighted.
I notice that there are a lot more black pieces on the board so I guess the little girl is winning.
White appears to have 2 rooks, a queen and king.
Black appears to have a knight, a bishop, 3 pawns and a king.
Who is (Paulo) Rafael ??
Unlike others, He painted the board set up correctly!
Beautiful piece!
This piece is held at the Tate in the UK. One can purchase an image, here is the link to order:
