A painted billiards and snooker club interior in a rounded rectangular cabinet with a gold-brown wooden border and small red corner brackets. An ornate gold scroll cartouche on a bright green panel carries the title Eight ball in large orange serif capitals with dark shadowing, with CHAMP in smaller solid yellow capitals beneath, and a small white script maker logo in the extreme top-left corner. Four rectangular silver score windows with faint numerals are set into the artwork, two high near the title and two low near the bottom. Seven male figures fill the room: a fair-haired man dead centre in a pale blue rolled-sleeve shirt, charcoal waistcoat and rust trousers, holding a cue upright; a dark-haired younger man in a white shirt bent low over the baize aiming a cue to the right; a man in a white wide-brimmed hat at far left; two men in tan and olive suits standing in the middle distance; a man in a white shirt and dark tie at the bar counter; and a man in a red sweater leaning on the rail at the right. The room has dark green walls, a lit multi-arm chandelier, framed pictures and small lit number panels on the right wall. Painted billiard balls in blue, orange, striped brown and white lie along the bottom edge of the green cloth.
