Are you familiar with the American painter Thomas Eakins? He was known for his realistic paintings of doctors performing surgery, but he also painted a famous picture of two people playing chess.

hi Dan
Nope, haven’t heard of him. I will go again to the wiki-link you left me..there are a few paintings named: “The Chess players”. In this painting – in my entry – there is a female player…and it’s a painting of the 1600’s. That means…
That means what?? 😉
errr…you really wanna know? 🙂
I like the painting. And the one that Dan linked to. But this one has more life in it.
Hi Kop! Yes, I agree with you, I like this one more too.
