Arms of a Boxer

George Bellows

National Gallery of Art

This image depicts a sketch showing partial views of a human body, focusing on the arms and upper torso. The body is positioned with both arms raised, one bent at the elbow, and the other extending upwards. The head is outlined without detailed features. The drawn lines suggest muscles and definition in the arms but do not depict any clothing or jewelry. The background of the image remains plain.
