Chess in a Roman Bathhouse Atrium

 

In a majestic Roman-style atrium with a soaring domed ceiling, regal long-haired cats with shimmering coats of ivory and chestnut sit atop a polished white marble pedestal, their piercing emerald eyes fixed intently on a chessboard as they deliberate their next move, the intricately carved stone columns and lush greenery surrounding the pedestal reflected in the calm waters of a serene reflecting pool, which mirrors the warm glow of soft, golden lighting that filters through the atrium's ornate latticework above, casting a sense of sophistication and refinement over the intimate, yet majestic, setting.
