"A Game of Skittles" is a painting by Edmund Bristow (1787–1876), an English genre painter known for his detailed and lively depictions of everyday life and animals. The painting illustrates a scene of rural leisure, capturing a moment in which a group of individuals are engaged in playing skittles, an old European lawn game from which modern ten-pin bowling is derived. Bristow's work often reflects the customs and pastimes of the English countryside, and "A Game of Skittles" is no exception, offering a glimpse into the social activities of the period.

The composition of the painting is carefully constructed to draw the viewer's eye to the action of the game, with figures positioned around the skittle alley, adding a sense of movement and engagement. Bristow's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the figures' expressions and attire, as well as in the rendering of the landscape and surrounding environment. The artwork serves not only as a piece of entertainment but also as a historical record of the era's social practices.

Edmund Bristow was a contemporary of more famous English artists such as Thomas Gainsborough and George Morland, and while he may not have achieved their level of renown, his works are appreciated for their charm and historical value. "A Game of Skittles" is characteristic of Bristow's oeuvre, showcasing his skill in capturing the essence of English rural life in the early 19th century. The painting is an important contribution to the genre of British genre painting, reflecting the cultural and social milieu of its time.
