Description
A Still Life painting of objects upon a kitchen table. The objects sit on a black and white checked tablecloth as in the title. A group of breakfast items including a vase, a silver spoon, a jug and what seems to be an egg in a bowl. The angle of the objects gives the viewer a perspective from above. Looking down upon the objects a small portion of the carpeted floor can be seen. To the left of the painting is the arm of a wooden chair.

Black and white checks dates from a period in the artist's career that was characterised by the use of a restrained colour palette. The still-life here demonstrates the artist's attention for limited perspective and asymmetry.
Like William Gillies, her contemporary, she reveals a fondness for domestic interiors in the creation of her intensely coloured and decorative compositions. The French artist George Braque can be noted to have had an influence on Redpath's work. Braque was an artist who Redpath considered to be one of the most influential of the 20th century.
