The painting depicts a boxing match. Two shirtless male boxers are in the center, one wearing green trunks and the other wearing black trunks. The boxer in black trunks appears to have his arms around the other. A referee in a white shirt and black pants and hat stands to their right. The background shows a crowd of spectators sitting in tiered seating, some leaning over a barrier. The atmosphere appears intense and dramatic. The title of the painting is "Stag at Sharkey's" by George Bellows.
