The Cock Fight
1913

A colorful sketch of a chaotic boxing match with two boxers in the center, surrounded by an animated crowd of spectators who are cheering and gesturing excitedly. The artwork is signed "Russell Cheney" and dated 1917, with the title "Cork Fight" written at the bottom. The edges of the paper are irregular and aged, with some discoloration and scribbles visible on the right side.
