Counted Out, Second Stone is a 1921 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
In the painting, a man is seen on the ground, possibly knocked out or injured, while another man stands over him with his arm raised in a victorious gesture. The scene appears to be set in a boxing ring, with ropes visible in the background. A third man stands in the corner of the ring, possibly a referee or a trainer. The painting conveys a sense of drama and tension, capturing a pivotal moment in a boxing match. The use of dark colors and bold brushstrokes adds to the intensity of the scene.
