This is an etching of a female cyclist riding along a path. The viewpoint is elevated, looking down at the cyclist. The horizon line is in the upper third of the image, with rolling hills and textured clouds in the sky. There are trees in the distance. The brushstrokes are intricate with cross-hatching and varied line thicknesses. The color palette is monochrome with shades of black, gray, and white. Tall trees frame the scene close to us. The woman on the bicycle has flowing hair, suggesting motion.
