1916
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Jury is a 1916 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a crowded, dimly lit room with six men. One man stands holding a bottle, pouring something for another who’s sitting slumped in a chair. The others lean in or stand around, looking tired or distracted. A table holds a few scattered objects, and a crate in the corner has writing on it. The artist used bold lines and dark shadows to make the scene feel tense and real. The lighting focuses on the faces, making them stand out against the murky background. Check out *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
George Wesley Bellows (August 12 or August 19, 1882 – January 8, 1925) was an American realist painter, known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City.
