In the 1920s, French painter Luc-Albert Moreau created a suite of 60 lithographs of the many aspects of boxing, which he considered a noble sport. Physiologie de la Boxe featured paintings and drawings of boxing winners and losers, as well as spectators and managers. Moreau was a painter with the Cubists up to 1912, but soon reverted to a more traditional style. He also produced lithographs of Parisian bars, restaurants, nightclubs, music halls, brothels and circuses, which revealed a comprehensive knowledge of the lively Paris underworld, including the gay and lesbian scene. After World War I, Moreau lived with the violinist Hélène Jourdan-Morhange, the widow of the painter Jacques Jourdan, who had been killed in the war. The couple were close friends with the famous composer Maurice Ravel. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
