A striking chess composition presents a white queen and black pawn in dynamic confrontation across a checkered board, rendered against a deep blue background. Bold linocut lines and flat colour areas create a stark, graphic quality reminiscent of early twentieth-century design. The stark contrast between the powerful queen and humble pawn suggests conflict and strategic tension. This contemplative piece brings sophistication and intellectual character to any space, ideal for a home office, library, or contemporary living room. A original, printed in the UK on heavyweight satin giclée paper and presented in a clean frame, ready to hang.
