PHOTOGRAPH: ELSA LIPFERT AND FRIEND

Overview

She is seated on a stationary bicycle held steady by a woman to her left. The second woman is wearing a floral dress, with white lace-up shoes with wedge heels and white ankle socks.

A jacket is draped over the handlebars of the bicycle between the two women. There are trees in the background alongside a sandy nature strip
