Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo's The Game of Bowls depicts a lively outdoor scene. The dominant color is sepia. Men in 18th-century attire are gathered around a game. Most are wearing hats. They are in a courtyard or plaza with a stone wall. A tower or turret is on the left side. The men are throwing balls. The balls are on the ground. The artwork is on aged paper with a rough border. The artist's signature appears at the bottom left.
