Original Description
Mary Cassatt’s In The Omnibus (Breeskin 145; Mathews & Shapiro 7), created in 1890–91, is a captivating drypoint and aquatint print that epitomizes the artist’s signature focus on intimate domestic scenes and modern womanhood. The composition depicts a mother and child seated in a Parisian omnibus, their quiet interaction framed by the carriage window, which acts as a poignant vignette of everyday life. Cassatt’s soft yet precise lines, combined with the subtle tonal gradations of aquatint, create a tender, almost dreamlike atmosphere. As an American expatriate working within the Impressionist circle, Cassatt brought a unique sensitivity to portraying women’s experiences, and this work exemplifies her mastery of printmaking techniques. In The Omnibus holds a significant place in art history as part of her celebrated "Ten" print series, showcasing her innovative blend of Japanese print influences and Western naturalism—an achievement that cemented her reputation as a pioneering female artist in a male-dominated movement.
For a sophisticated home or office space, In The Omnibus would harmonize beautifully in a setting that balances elegance and warmth. Its ideal placement would be in a light-filled living room or study, where its muted earth tones and delicate lines could complement neutral or soft pastel walls. Consider framing it in a slender, gilt or black wood frame to enhance its 19th-century gravitas while maintaining a modern edge. Pair it with minimalist furniture and organic textures—linen upholstery, oak shelving—to let the artwork stand as a focal point. Given its intimate scale (approx. 14 x 11 inches), it works best as part of a curated gallery wall or above a console table, where viewers can appreciate its intricate details. The subdued blues and browns in the print would also resonate with accent pieces like ceramic vases or a muted Persian rug, creating a cohesive, quietly artistic ambiance.
