A typical Cubist table top arrangement that includes the checker board and cards in the title as well as a pipe, wine glasses and a Le Journal newspaper.

With his combination of games of strategy and chance with the fleeting pleasures of wine and tobacco, Gris presents a lugubrious reflection on life.
