Between Rounds, large, first stone

George Bellows

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man partly visible in a boxing ring corner, being attended to by two individuals. The man sits on a stool, leaning back on the ropes. His head is turned to the side and his face is not fully visible. He is shirtless with boxing shorts and shoes. One person is sponging him down, and another is holding a towel. There is a pipe in one person's hand. Another boxer is in the ring, also being attended to. A crowd of spectators fills the background. The setting appears to be indoors, with the ring well-lit and the crowd partly shadowed for contrast.
