The Bayswater Omnibus is an 1895 oil painting by George William Joy. It has been held by the Museum of London since 1966. The genre painting depicts a scene inside a horse-drawn omnibus of the London General Omnibus Company. Joy borrowed a bus from the company while he was working on his painting.
Another well known, yet profoundly different work by Joy is the highly contemporary scene The Bayswater Omnibus (1895; Museum of London - image here). One of his most evocative paintings is Joan of Arc , guarded in her sleep by an angel (1895; Rouen , Musée des Beaux Arts - image here ).
