Six-day Bicycle Race
1935

A vibrant painting depicting a dynamic indoor cycling race. Cyclists in colorful jerseys are intensely competing on a velodrome track, with spectators gathered around in stands and on the infield, some waving flags. The scene captures the movement and excitement of the race, with a band playing in the center of the arena, contributing to the festive atmosphere. The artwork is signed "L'Engle '35" in the bottom right corner.
