"Fives played at the Tennis court Leicester Fields" is a painting by the English artist Robert Dighton, known for his caricatures and portraits during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This artwork captures a scene of the traditional English ball game known as "fives," which is similar to handball and was commonly played in the 18th century. The setting is the tennis court at Leicester Fields, an area in London that was a popular recreational and social hub during that time.

Dighton’s work is characterized by its lively depiction of everyday life and social activities, often infused with humor and keen observation. In this painting, he portrays a group of men engaged in a game of fives, capturing the dynamic movement and competitive spirit of the players. The composition reflects Dighton’s skill in illustrating human figures and his ability to convey the energy of the scene.

The painting also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the leisure activities and social customs of the period. Leicester Fields, now known as Leicester Square, was a fashionable area frequented by the upper classes, and the inclusion of such a setting highlights the popularity of fives among different social strata.
