A square-format painting, titled "EMPATE" ("IT'S A DRAW"), by artist Álvaro Mendes, is displayed on a light off-white, textured wall. The artwork, executed in oil and acrylic on panel and measuring 80 x 80 cm, depicts an overhead view of a distressed white or greyish table. On the table, a chessboard with brown and white squares is central. A white bishop stands on the board, and a single green chess piece (possibly a pawn) lies on an adjacent square. To the right of the chessboard, three dark chess pieces are scattered on the table surface. A small, open brown leather-like case with metallic clasps is positioned above the chessboard. In the upper right corner of the painting, a red box containing multiple dark-capped bottles, resembling a beer crate, rests next to an open brown cardboard box. A brown Sagres beer bottle with a yellow label stands upright on the table. In the lower right, a small white coffee cup with a red triangular tag (likely from a teabag) sits on a saucer. To the left of the chessboard, a small white piece of lined paper with handwritten chess notations (e.g., "47. g5," "33. Kh1," "96. d4," "48. fxg4") is visible, with a pen resting on it. Below the paper, a circular pocket watch is depicted. The table legs are simple and greyish. The painting's background is divided horizontally into an upper dark green section and a lower olive-brown section, representing a wall and floor. The artist's initials, "AN ME," are present in dark red in the bottom right corner of the painting. The painting is enclosed in a light wooden frame. To the right of the framed artwork, a small white informational label on the wall identifies the artist, title, medium, and dimensions. The presence of Portuguese text on the label (EMPATE, Óleo e acrílico sobre painel) indicates the location as Olhão, Portugal. The wall exhibits minor surface irregularities and faint marks.
