La Dame Champenoise

As the technology to preserve wine improved back in the late 19th century, unlike Bordeaux wine, Champagne makers used its label as marketing material. The champagne bottle label was a mini advertising billboard with various subjects such as love, marriage, religion, and sports activity. One of Champagne's labels showed a female cyclist (not sure if she was a professional or not) who was chased by 2 male cyclists.

I was inspired by this story from the book "9000 Years of Wine - A World History" by Rod Phillips and created this vivid and pure vector illustration. I believe it might not be exactly the same as what the author stated in his book but I interpreted his sentence with a modern French-style scene.
