This is a rare and captivating original etching by artist E.B. Rothwell, titled "Game of the Century." The piece serves as a sophisticated artistic homage to the legendary 1956 chess match between a 13-year-old Bobby Fischer and Donald Byrne. Rothwell masterfully reimagines the chessboard as an Egyptian tomb painting. The white pieces are depicted as King Akhenaten, Queen Nefertiti, and their retinue, while the black pieces are portrayed as King Tutankhamun and his court. The central focus captures the exact moment of Fischer's historic move #17 (Knight to K3). Item Details: Artist: E.B. Rothwell Edition: Limited Edition 61/75 Dimensions: 22" x 14" Condition: Excellent overall condition.
