Toy Bus

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a horse-drawn stagecoach. The artwork shows a vintage stagecoach drawn by two white horses, in mid-motion. The coach has a red roof and blue undercarriage, with the words "Broadway & 4th Avenue" written on its side. The wheels of the stagecoach are large and wooden, and there is a vivid depiction of the harnesses and reins tying the horses to the vehicle. The painting is done in a naive or folk art style with flat colors and a straightforward composition.
