Artist, American, 1899 - 1989

This is a drawing of cyclists in motion. The image depicts three cyclists riding at speed. The black and white drawing uses a dappled shading technique to create a dynamic contrast between the cyclists and the background. The cyclists' forms are blurred and elongated, adding to the impression of speed as they lean into the forward motion. The bicycles' wheels are sketched with precision, showing spokes in detail that contrast with the fluid depiction of the cyclists' bodies. Shadows and highlights play a crucial role in differentiating the elements within the image.
