This icon of the Art Nouveau movement was created in present-day Czech Republic. Crafted as an advertisement for the British company, Cycles Perfecta, the artwork details a beautiful woman casually leaning over a bicycle gazing directly at us. This incredibly lively illustration captures a sense of freedom in its strong windblown details, a necessary feeling to convey with the product being advertised, but an essence that has helped this piece live on beyond simply being an ad for a bicycle.
