A Stag at Sharkey 's is a 1909 oil painting by George Wesley Bellows showing two boxers fighting in the private athletic club down the street from his studio. It is part of the Ashcan School movement known for depicting scenes of daily life in early twentieth century New York City, often in the city 's poor neighborhoods. George Bellows used quick strokes and deep brushing to create a blurred image, it shows the two fighters in motion. George also chose a low point of view to put the view of the fight among the crowd watching the fight. The two fighters that are in the painting in the boxing ring were usually members of the club, but sometimes outsiders would fight with temporarily. The fighters were known as stags.
