The image is an antique illustration of a chessboard. The chessboard is composed of alternating squares of a reddish-brown and a pale yellow color. The squares are not perfectly uniform, giving the impression of being woven or constructed from individual strands. The illustration is framed by an oval shape with concentric lines radiating outwards, creating a vignette effect. Above the chessboard, the text 'TAB. XXIV.' is visible, and below it, a small, square illustration of a piece resembling a chess pawn is labeled 'b.'. The overall style is reminiscent of an engraving or early printed illustration, with a slightly rough and textured appearance.
