Counted Out, first stone

George Bellows

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a boxing match conclusion. The drawing depicts a boxing ring where one boxer lies defeated on the ground while another boxer stands, possibly in victory. A referee is gesturing, potentially signaling the end of the match. The scene is filled with intensity, capturing the moment of decision in the boxing match. Spectators and possibly trainers lean against the ropes, intently following the outcome. Shadows and shading are used to give depth and drama to the composition.
