Three women occupy a pale sailing boat with the word “chess” painted on its hull in “Three ladies in a boat” by Mariya Yugina. Two sit closely together beneath a parasol on the left, while the third stands near the bow with one arm raised towards her head. A large cream-coloured sail divides the composition, and a small black-and-white dog sits between the figures.
A chessboard with pieces rests on a round surface in front of the seated women. Behind the boat, a colourful coastal town climbs green hills, with yellow and orange façades, towers and winding roads. Small figures, palm trees and a red-striped lighthouse enliven the waterfront. Angular fields of blue, turquoise and white create rhythmic movement in the water around the boat.
The subject brings sailing, companionship and chess together in an imaginative scene. Elongated limbs, shifting perspectives and geometric waves give the story a playful, theatrical quality. Warm colours in the town and boat contrast with the cool blues of the water. The horizontal 80 × 60 cm format accommodates both the intimate details on board and the view towards the town.
