About this work

This sketch shows a woman riding a bicycle. She’s dressed in a long coat and hat, holding the handlebars with one hand while her other arm swings free. The wheels are big and round, and the background is just loose, wavy lines—no details, just movement. The drawing is done in quick, sketchy lines with a ballpoint pen, almost like a doodle. The artist didn’t focus on realism; the shapes are simple and a little dreamy. If you like this style, check out Leonora Carrington.
