"A Game of Chess" is a notable painting by the Scottish artist George Ogilvy Reid, created in 1886. Reid, an accomplished painter known for his genre scenes and portraits, captures a moment of intense concentration and quiet contemplation in this work. The painting depicts two men engrossed in a game of chess, a theme that has been explored by various artists to symbolize strategy, intellect, and the human condition.

The composition of "A Game of Chess" is carefully constructed to draw the viewer's eye to the central action of the chessboard. The players are seated at a table, with one man leaning forward, his hand poised to make a move, while the other reclines slightly, observing the board with a thoughtful expression. The setting is an interior space, rendered with meticulous attention to detail, including the textures of the players' clothing, the wooden table, and the surrounding furnishings. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, highlighting the players' faces and the chess pieces, and creating a sense of intimacy and focus.

Reid's painting is not just a depiction of a game but a study of human interaction and the mental engagement involved in chess. The artist's skillful use of color, light, and composition reflects his academic training and his ability to convey narrative through visual means. "A Game of Chess" is a testament to Reid's talent and his contribution to the genre of narrative painting in the late 19th century.

This work is part of the collection at the National Galleries of Scotland, where it continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its portrayal of a timeless intellectual pursuit. Reid's ability to capture the quiet intensity of the moment makes "A Game of Chess" a significant piece in the study of genre painting and the depiction of leisure activities in art.
