About the Artwork
Amid the jagged mountains, we watch three friends engaged in a game of chess. The vibrant blossoms surrounding them add a lively contrast to the serene mountainous landscape.

A detailed exploration of the mountains reveals the artist's expert brushwork, characterized by abundant "flying white" strokes. These swift and vigorous marks, executed as the brush moves across the canvas, define the artist's distinctive style, imparting a robust and unrestrained texture to the mountainous terrain.

Notice how the artist has skillfully depicted the friends' immersion in the game, each gesture and expression reflecting their focus and enjoyment. As if anticipating the need for refreshment during their leisurely pursuit, the friends have brought along a tea set. We can almost smell the aroma of freshly brewed tea mingling with the crisp mountain air, accompanied by the sound of chess pieces landing on the stone board amid the silence of the mountain.

Enter into the painting's serene atmosphere and feel the joy it emanates. It's a tranquil escape where kindred spirits find solace from worldly cares.
