1900 Beautiful Woman Elegantly Riding her BicycleAs was frequently the case, in the bicycle promotions of the period, an attractive woman and not the quality bicycle she rode was the primary focus of the advertisement. Gaudys harmonious colors work wonderfully in this work which captures this in-control cyclist as she pedals her way through the undulating countryside of the Ardennes, steering her bike with one hand while checking her hair with the other.
