Reducing, Small, Third Stone is a 1921 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting depicts two people lying on a bed, with one person's legs raised in the air. The person on the left is wearing a white shirt and has their head resting on their arm, while the person on the right is wearing a white dress and has their legs bent at the knees. The bed has a patterned quilt on it, and the room is dimly lit. In the background, there is a dark wall with a small table or chair in the corner. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of relaxation and intimacy. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist George Bellows (American, 1882–1925).
