[Signed near the lower center:] P. Merwart

[Five women in pale dresses with large puffed sleeves and wide hats, one in dark with a feathered hat, ride bicycles in a loose row along pink swirling lines among gold stippled foliage. Two more riders and a gate with a sunburst show at the left. The lettering sits in a boxed panel with an ornate red initial M at the lower right.]
