"Playing Billiards, Petworth" is a painting by the renowned English Romantic artist Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851). Created during Turner's mature period, this artwork is part of a series of paintings and sketches that emerged from his visits to Petworth House in West Sussex, the home of his patron, George Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont. The painting is notable for its depiction of an indoor scene, a subject less commonly addressed in Turner's oeuvre, which is predominantly known for its dramatic landscapes and seascapes.

The painting captures a candid moment of leisure within the stately home, with figures gathered around a billiard table, engrossed in the game. Turner's use of light and shadow plays a crucial role in this composition, illuminating the figures and the billiard table while casting other areas of the room into soft obscurity. The brushwork is loose and expressive, characteristic of Turner's style, which often borders on the impressionistic, anticipating the techniques that would later be adopted by the Impressionists.

"Playing Billiards, Petworth" reflects Turner's interest in capturing the interplay of natural and artificial light and its effects on color and form. The painting is also significant for its social context, providing insight into the recreational activities of the British aristocracy in the early 19th century. The work is part of a larger body of Turner's art that documents life at Petworth House, including the architecture, grounds, and the daily activities of its inhabitants.

As with many of Turner's paintings, "Playing Billiards, Petworth" is appreciated for its innovative approach to the subject matter and its contribution to the evolution of landscape painting. The artwork is held in a public or private collection, and it has been exhibited and studied as an example of Turner's mastery in capturing the essence of light and atmosphere.
