The painting on the wall?
Why, yes, of course, it is an original. Like all of the paintings displayed here.
Medium: Oil on wood
Dimensions: 11 3/4 x 16 3/4 in. (29.8 x 42.6 cm)
The depiction is a present-time whimsical revisitation by the artist of his famous earlier 1876 composition, and was gifted to The Wulfshead on March 2022.
The standing figure observing the chess game is Bill Kristol, who co-founded, in 1997, along with Robert Kagan, the Project for the New American Century, generally considered to be a mainly neoconservative think tank. The seated player studying the chess board is Joe Biden, the sitting President of the United States of America in 2022 at the time the painting was made. Emphasizing Kristol's status, the artist placed Kristol centrally, with the vanishing point behind Kristol's head.
