"Coasting" from "Bicycling for Ladies" by Maria E. Ward, 1896 Cutting Board

A figure in Victorian dress rides a bicycle with relaxed posture, leaning back in a coasting position across the composition. The ink sketch employs fine line work and cross-hatching against a cream ground, capturing both the mechanical precision of the bicycle and the leisurely ease of the rider. Crafted from bamboo and made to order, with a drilled hole so it hangs on the wall as easily as it works on the counter. A kitchen essential carrying an independent artist's work, not a blank block from the big-box aisle.
