Description
Framed art print of 'The Chess Game' (c. 1880) by Francesco Beda in an ornate gold-tone frame. The Chess Game is a notable example of Rococo genre painting. Francesco Beda was known for his detailed and refined depictions of aristocratic life. This particular work gained notoriety after being stolen from a private collection in London. Although Interpol traced it to the United States, its current whereabouts remain unknown. Frame dimensions: 30" x 42". In good condition with minor wear consistent with age.
