"Checkmate" – Original Charcoal & Ink Drawing
"Checkmate" is an original black and white illustration by fine artist and curator A.S. Williams. Rendered with charcoal and ink on portrait paper, this one-of-a-kind piece features five chess pieces—rook, knight, queen, bishop, and rook—each carefully detailed with bold contrast and expressive linework. The subtle gradient of a checkered background gives depth and atmosphere, inviting viewers into a moment of strategic tension and quiet power.
This artwork comes professionally framed in a 9x12 black floating frame, ready to hang and elevate any space with its bold symmetry and quiet intensity.
Whether you're a chess enthusiast, a lover of black-and-white fine art, or someone drawn to symbolism in storytelling, “Checkmate” brings intellect and beauty together in one timeless piece. "Checkmate" is ideal for collectors, chess enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates strong monochromatic work that speaks to focus, intellect, and precision.
