Indian Chess Grandmaster Appraisal

Signed Autograph Portrait of Gukesh Dommaraju

This item is a digital or printed photographic portrait of the Indian Chess Grandmaster Gukesh Dommaraju. The image depicts the subject in a concentrated pose during a match, dressed in a professional charcoal-grey suit jacket over a white collared shirt. He is shown behind a professional wood-grain finish chessboard with light-colored (likely boxwood) chess pieces and a red digital chess clock positioned in the foreground. A significant marking is the black ink autograph located in the upper left corner, while the name 'Gukesh Dommaraju' is printed in a serif font at the bottom center. The color palette follows a realistic professional sporting photograph, with muted office lighting reflecting off the subject's hair and clothes. The condition appear from the digital file to be clear, though the image itself suffers from pixelation typical of low-resolution digital captures. The composition emphasizes the intense focus and youthful intellectualism of the player, who became a notable figure in modern chess history. There are no visible watermarks or stamps other than the signature, making this a commemorative piece of sports memorabilia likely from the early 2020s.
