Omnibus is a 1892 by Anders Zorn, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a dimly lit interior scene, with a figure seated in the foreground. The subject is dressed in dark attire, and their face is partially obscured by shadows. The background of the painting is dominated by a large window, which appears to be the primary source of light in the scene. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye towards the figure in the foreground. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the subject appearing lost in thought. The painting is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
Anders Leonard Zorn was born in February 1860 in Mora, Dalarna, the illegitimate son of a Bavarian brewer and a Swedish farmer's daughter; his mother died shortly after his birth, and his grandparents raised him.
