# Stag at Sharkey's, in Florence Truelson's contemporaries

George Bellows painted this in 1909, aged 27. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> Bellows was no stranger to Sharkey’s Athletic Club, a raucous saloon with a backroom boxing ring, located near his studio. Founded by Tom “Sailor” Sharkey, an ex-fighter who had also served in the US Navy, the club attracted men seeking to watch or participate in matches.
