About this work
Most 18th-century miniatures were produced by just a few Amsterdam workshops. The objects made by some of them were so detailed that they can actually be used in the same way as their full-size counterparts. This chequerboard with game pieces is a fine example. The board has the 64 squares customary in the 18th century, rather than the present-day 100.
