Counted Out, first stone

About this work

The painting depicts a dramatic scene of a boxing match, with a fighter lying on the ground, seemingly defeated. The boxer's arms are stretched out, and his body is contorted in a way that suggests he has been knocked out. In the background, another boxer stands tall, his arms raised in victory. The scene is set in a crowded arena, with spectators watching from the sidelines. The atmosphere is tense and intense, with a sense of drama and competition. The painting is a lithograph in black, created by George Bellows in 1921. To learn more about the artist's technique, explore the world of lithography.
