Which Frida Kahlo painting is a 1929 depiction of a bus?

Frida Kahlo’s 1929 painting depicting a bus is titled The Bus.

The small painting shows passengers seated inside a public bus. Art historians often connect its subject to Kahlo’s 1925 bus accident, although the work is not a literal eyewitness record of that event. Its figures include people from different social positions, making the interior a compact view of Mexican society.

The Bus was painted during the period when Kahlo was developing her artistic identity. She had not yet become internationally famous, and her work was still being shaped by Mexican popular art, religious imagery, personal experience, and the example of artists around her.

The title can cause confusion because Kahlo also made works dealing directly with injury and medical treatment. The Bus is an independent painting from 1929, while the accident itself took place four years earlier. The concise title refers to the vehicle and its passengers, not to a separate painting called The Accident.
