About

Notable Post-Impressionist painting, deemed "Arabs Playing Chess," showcases skillful use of  brushwork and  of chiaroscuro. The painting depicts a scene of Arabs engaged in a game of chess, with a standing figure adding a sense of intrigue. Peczely's warm and dark palette, coupled with bold brushstrokes, infuses the composition with a vibrant energy. The artist created many works in Orientalist style, and explored the theme of chess in multiple works. This particular painting might be a study for a larger project. Signed "Peczely A" on the lower right. In original ornate frame.

Antal Peczely (1891-1963) was a Hungarian painter and graphic artist. His works were exhibited internationally, and he received commissions for various pieces, including oriental-themed paintings.
