The description said,
'A Double Game', original watercolour painting by R. Moretti (Italian, 19th Century)Lot Notes: An extremely fine 19th century Italian watercolour painting depicting a rich interior genre scene with a cardinal playing chess by highly regarded Italian genre painter R. Moretti. The painting is one of the very finest recorded examples of this artist's work, every aspect is exquisitely rendered. The painting is signed 'R. Moretti' and inscribed 'Roma' lower left. Moretti's work realises many thousands of pounds at auction.
- Signed lower left and inscribed 'Roma'

I still haven't figured out why the painting is called 'A Double Game'. It was written on the frame (not shown). What was the original title in Italian?
