"The Attack (the Old Rascal)" is a notable painting by the American realist artist George Wesley Bellows, who is renowned for his dynamic and vigorous depictions of urban life and landscapes in the early 20th century. Bellows, a prominent member of the Ashcan School, often focused on the raw and gritty aspects of American society, capturing scenes of everyday life with a keen eye for detail and a profound sense of realism.

Created in 1911, "The Attack (the Old Rascal)" exemplifies Bellows' masterful use of bold brushstrokes and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. The painting is a vivid portrayal of a boxing match, a subject that Bellows frequently explored in his work. This particular piece stands out for its intense energy and the palpable sense of movement, as the fighters are depicted in the midst of a fierce and chaotic struggle. The composition is tightly framed, drawing the viewer's eye to the physicality and raw emotion of the scene.

Bellows' interest in boxing was not merely for its visual dynamism but also for its social implications. Boxing matches during this period were often held in clandestine venues and attended by a diverse cross-section of society, from the working class to the elite. Through his boxing paintings, Bellows captured the intersection of sport, violence, and social commentary, reflecting the complexities of American life.

"The Attack (the Old Rascal)" is housed in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art, where it continues to be a significant piece for both its artistic merit and its historical context. Bellows' work remains influential, offering a window into the early 20th-century American experience and the evolving landscape of modern art.
