Description:
ID))): This black and white lithograph depicts the end of a boxing match. The eyes are immediately drawn to the boxer on the floor of the boxing ring. He lays tucked in a fetal position, one hand covering his face and the other stretched out, alluding to being knocked out moments prior. The referee kneels right behind him with his left hand hovering over the boxer’s back and his right hand directly above his own head, holding up two fingers to indicate his countdown to ending the match. The winner stands in his corner on the right side of the work, looking down at his unconscious opponent with an expression filled with exhaustion. Next to the victorious boxer stands a shadowy figure, whose only discernible feature is his large, muscular size. Another man from outside the ring is reaching from behind the ropes on the left side of the work, while the crowd in the middle ground of the image remain loosely depicted and unrecognizable.
