Description
A woman takes up the majority of the painting, being close int he foreground. She sits on a red motorbike or moped, and wears a white crash helmet, grey top and black miniskirt/shorts. She is leaning her head on one hand, resting on the handlebars, as if bored.
In the background is another motorcyclist, though this one is a man, sitting on a silver bike with side car. The figure in the background does not have any facial features, making the woman more striking.
As with many Rowe artworks, the background of the piece is a single block colour, in this case orange, making the two figures more striking.
