About the piece

Painted in 1888 by Maurice Delondre, this realist work offers a vivid glimpse into the social tapestry of Parisian life. Passengers of various classes sit side-by-side in a horse-drawn omnibus, their expressions and attire rendered with masterful detail against the warm, wood-paneled interior of the carriage.
