A face fills the frame, half flesh and half chessboard. One cheek glows in coral and warm cream, the brow shaded in cool slate blue. Down the right side, black and white squares climb like scales, and a heavy gold crown sits weathered at the top, flecked with gilt that scatters across the whole surface. The mood is regal and slightly haunted, painted in an Old Master oil style turned surreal. Deep greens and burnished golds anchor it.
It sits naturally in our Surrealist Art and Royalty collections, and the strategy of the squares connects it to Poker & Billiards too.
A painted face merges with a chessboard, coral and slate blue against squares of black and white. A gilded crown crowns the top, gold flecks drifting across the oil surface. Regal, strange, quietly powerful.
