EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a woman riding a bicycle with grace and elegance. The image is the cover of "Figaro illustrated", dated back to 1893, an iconic French journal that was known for its artistic representation of contemporary culture. The woman on the bike exudes confidence as she effortlessly glides through the streets, her attire reflecting the fashion trends of the late 19th century. With autumn leaves scattered on the ground, it seems like this snapshot was taken during a crisp fall day, adding to the nostalgic charm of the scene. The photographer Leonard de Selva skillfully captured not only the physical act of cycling but also conveyed a sense of freedom and empowerment associated with this sport. This image serves as a reminder that women have long been breaking barriers and embracing new forms of recreation. Preserved by Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this print showcases both historical significance and artistic merit. It stands as a testament to how art can transcend time and continue to inspire generations even after more than a century has passed since its creation. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us celebrate not only its aesthetic beauty but also acknowledge its cultural importance in capturing an era when women were beginning to assert their independence through activities such as cycling.
