"In This Corner" is a 1949 lithograph by American artist Richard Franklin Bartlett (1900-1989). The artwork captures the intense atmosphere of a boxing match, showcasing the boxer in the corner with his team preparing him for the fight. The composition emphasizes the physicality of the sport, with the boxer's bare torso and the tense expressions of his team. The use of black and white adds a sense of drama and realism, highlighting the stark contrasts of light and shadow.
