"The Boxers" is a lithograph by French artist J.J. Grandville, created in 1836. It depicts two men engaged in a boxing match, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. Known for his satirical and often fantastical illustrations, Grandville's work often commented on contemporary social issues. "The Boxers" is a humorous take on the sport, with the two fighters exaggerated in size and expression. This lithograph is part of a larger collection of Grandville's works titled "The Complete Works of Béranger", and is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
