The fresco entitled "The Young Boxers of Akrotiri", dating from around 1500 BC, formerly located on the first floor of House B in Akrotiri and now preserved in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, adorned the south wall of the room, alongside other works of a similar style.
It depicts two young boys engaged in the practice of boxing.

Shown in profile, they have shaved heads, with the exception of two long hair strands that fall down their backs and two smaller ones above their foreheads.
Both are simply dressed in a waist belt and hold a boxing glove in their right hand.
Their largely exaggerated eyes, typical of modern Aegean frescoes, add an expressive dimension to their faces.
The bent legs and arched back, especially on the boy on the right, infuse movement and vibrancy into the composition.
The boy on the left wears jewelry (a necklace, an armband, and a ring), while his opponent appears to be devoid of any adornment.
This distinction, clearly intentional, suggests a difference in social status between the two figures.
