  • 2011
  • Oil on canvas
  • 51 × 51 cm(20,1 × 20,1 inches)

  • The definition of “brinkmanship” is perfect for the improbability of this fine painting:

    the art or practice of pursuing a dangerous policy to the limits of safety before stopping, especially in politics.
    "in any game of brinkmanship, it is possible that one side will collapse suddenly"

    The Queen in a wagon, the Knight and the pawn alongside and the Castle nearby as a wounded pawn hides under decrepit table.
    Nowhere to go.

    Note the metal wheels of the cart, as well as the round ear and eye of the Knight. Add the ineffective Lance whose handle seems to be a crucifix.
    The color and the light and the texture create a very beautiful painting.
