In Vaudeville, the Bicycle Rider is a 1919 graphite by Charles Demuth, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting features a man riding a bicycle in a forest setting. He is dressed in a white shirt, black pants, and a red tie, with his body leaning to the right as he pedals. The background is a mix of yellow, brown, and green hues, with trees and foliage visible behind the cyclist. A notable detail in the painting is the use of bold lines and vibrant colors, which creates a sense of energy and movement. The artist's use of watercolor and graphite on laid paper adds texture and depth to the image. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Charles Demuth, who was known for his bold and expressive use of color.
