Omnibus is an oil-on-canvas painting created during 1891–92 by the Swedish artist Anders Zorn. There are two versions of the painting – the first one is exhibited at Nationalmuseum in Stockholm[1] and the second in Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.[2]
Omnibus is an impressionist painting representing contemporary urban life in Paris. It depicts 4-5 people sitting in a public trolley. In the foreground there is a young woman with a square box. Behind her, a prostitute can be seen. Both women represent the modern life with its commercial attractions and dangers.
