The Game of Checkers by Edouard Vuillard. A man and a woman are indoors. The man sits on a couch to the left. The couch has a green back and arms and a maroon and white floral patterned seat and back cushion. The man wears a maroon shirt and has both hands on a checkerboard resting on a small table in front of him. The woman stands on the right. She wears a maroon dress with short puffy sleeves and a high neckline. The woman's left hand is on her chest. The woman's right arm hangs down at her side. The background is a tan wallpapered wall with a floral pattern in maroon and green. The wall has a dark brown horizontal stripe along the top. The edges of the paper are off-white. The image is slightly blurry and impressionistic.
