A horizontally oriented lithograph in black ink on white paper depicts three men with light skin tones around a chessboard. On our left, a man in a pale jacket sits in profile, reaching toward the board. Opposite him, a man in a flat cap rests his head on his hand. A third man in a brimmed hat watches from behind. Grainy strokes texture the print, while strong lighting casts deep shadows against the wall.
