In the center of the tapestry is a man and a woman seated, playing chess. The woman is wearing a white gown, while the man is wearing black boots, tan pants, an ornately embroidered green jacket, and a powdered wig. To the immediate left of the chess-playing woman is another seated woman dressed in pink dress, who is observing the game. To the immediate right of the chess-playing man is a standing man with a black mustache, wearing black boots, tan pants, and an ornately embroidered green shirt, with a tan jacket hanging off his left shoulder, and a black hat; this man is also holding a red/brown satchel. There are trees and grass in the background, as well as men with horses and a large manor house, behind the railing for the patio.Collection
