"Counted Out, First Stone" is a notable painting by the American realist artist George Wesley Bellows, created in 1921. Bellows, who was a prominent member of the Ashcan School, is renowned for his dynamic and vigorous depictions of urban life and sporting events, particularly boxing. This painting is a striking example of his ability to capture the raw energy and physicality of the sport, as well as the intense emotions of the participants and spectators.

The painting portrays a dramatic moment in a boxing match, where one of the fighters has been knocked down and is being counted out by the referee. The composition is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which heightens the sense of tension and immediacy. Bellows employs a palette of dark, muted colors, punctuated by the stark white of the referee's shirt and the flesh tones of the boxers, to create a powerful visual impact.

Bellows' technique in "Counted Out, First Stone" demonstrates his mastery of both form and movement. The figures are rendered with a sense of weight and solidity, yet there is a fluidity to their poses that conveys the motion and violence of the fight. The crowd in the background is depicted with less detail, but their expressions and gestures add to the overall atmosphere of excitement and anticipation.

This painting is part of Bellows' larger body of work that explores the theme of boxing, a subject that fascinated him throughout his career. His boxing paintings are celebrated for their realism and their ability to convey the visceral experience of the sport. "Counted Out, First Stone" is a significant piece within this context, exemplifying Bellows' skill in capturing the human drama and physical intensity of boxing.
