About the piece

Painted around 1870, this Impressionist work by Marie Bracquemond captures a tranquil moment of 19th-century leisure. Two women in elegant, light-colored gowns are seated on a richly patterned rug, their attention focused on a backgammon board while soft light reflects off the nearby water and lush landscape.
