This black-and-white print shows two boxers in a cramped room. One man is throwing a punch, his arm stretched high. The other is bent over, leaning on ropes, looking tired. In the background, a referee sits on a stool, and a crowd watches through a window. The artist used strong lines and dark shadows to show the fighters’ energy. The title *Training Quarters* hints this is a snapshot of real life, not a fancy scene. If you like this style, check out George Bellows (American, 1882–1925) for more bold, action-packed work.
