The Property of The Finnis Scott Foundation. Joseph Clark, ROI (British, 1834-1926), Study for Checkmatesigned lower left "J Clark", pen and ink with grey wash, 10 x 13cm (3.9 x 5.07in). Provenance: Simon Thesinger, London, Thomas Agnew & Sons, London from whom bought by Sir David Scott in 1982. This delicate drawing is a finished study for 'Checkmate' which was exhibited by the artist at the Royal Academy in 1870, following the success of two earlier paintings depicting board game scenes, 'The Draught Players' of 1859 and 'The Chess Players' of 1860. The former depicted a grandfather teaching his grandson to play draughts, and although no record has been found of the appearance of the 1860 picture, it is likely that it was similar to 'Checkmate' painted ten years later. It depicts a decisive moment of a game as the grandfather prepares to make his move. From the gleeful expression of his young opponent, we can surmise that the game is not going in the learned gentleman's favour, and his grandson is close to check-mate. The game has presumably been long and drawn out and the boy's mother has brought a plate of biscuits to sustain the players through their game. Checkmate is a more intimate scene and the representation of leisure is more relaxed than in other Victorian paintings
