"Orientaliska Schackspelare" (Oriental Chess Players) is a watercolor painting by the Swedish artist Egron Sellif Lundgren (1815–1875). Created during Lundgren's travels in the Middle East, the painting is a fine example of Orientalist art, a genre popular in the 19th century where Western artists depicted aspects of Eastern cultures.

The painting captures an intimate scene of two men deeply engrossed in a game of chess. Lundgren's attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the players' attire, the chess pieces, and the surrounding environment, which reflects his keen observation and appreciation of different cultures. The artwork is characterized by its vibrant colors and the play of light and shadow, which was a hallmark of Lundgren's watercolor technique.

Lundgren, who was trained at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts, is known for his works that often portrayed scenes from his extensive travels, including time spent in Spain, Egypt, and India. "Orientaliska Schackspelare" not only showcases his skill as a watercolorist but also provides a glimpse into the 19th-century European fascination with the exotic and the foreign.

The painting is significant for its artistic merit as well as its cultural representation, offering insights into the Orientalist perspective and the ways in which the East was romanticized and portrayed by Western artists of the time. "Orientaliska Schackspelare" remains an important work within Lundgren's oeuvre and contributes to the broader understanding of Orientalist art in the context of 19th-century European art history.
