This oil painting on board by game of checkers artist William Knight was a typical example of the narrative genre style of the artist in the mid 19th century that depicted daily scenes of common folk in a variety of settings.
The dark muted tones of the background and the dramatic use of light focused on the family group surrounding the two boys playing a leisurely game of checkers.
The artist William Knight, used a traditional triangular composition to establish the closeness of the family, the joy of the winner and the focal point of the checkerboard in the center of the painting.
The simplicity of the family scene and the boy’s gesture evoked the emotion clearly displayed and the subtle tonality of the image emphasized the warmth surrounding the checkers scene.
