Ah, it's true, my poor old man, you would be the first to whom I would have made to miss his bus. "But I'll Miss My Bus" "My Customers Have Never Missed Their Bus"

About this work

This image shows two figures, a man and a woman, standing together in a dark, dimly lit setting. The man wears a top hat and a long coat, while the woman is dressed in a dark coat and hat. The background is vague, with what appears to be a street or alleyway behind them. The painting's use of dark colors and shadowy lighting creates a somber mood, drawing the viewer's attention to the two figures. The artist's focus on the everyday lives of ordinary people is a hallmark of the Realism movement. To learn more about the artist who created this work, look up Henri Gabriel Ibels.
