Game of Checkers (La partie de dames) is a 1898 ink by Édouard Vuillard, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two men hunched over a checkerboard on a small table. Their hats lie nearby, and the room is dim, lit only by a single lamp. Vuillard used this print to explore quiet moments. He often captured daily life in Paris, but here he highlights the game’s focus—the players’ hands hover close to the pieces. The National Gallery of Art, Washington has this print in its collection.
Jean-Édouard Vuillard (French: ; 11 November 1868 – 21 June 1940) was a French painter, decorative artist, and printmaker.
