The Bachelor is a 1786 ink by Samuel Alken, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a man lying on a couch, surrounded by various objects. He is dressed in white and has a sheet covering his legs. To his left, another man sits in a chair, wearing a brown coat and holding a pipe in his mouth. A woman stands behind the couch, wearing a white dress and a hat. There is a table with a bowl and a paper on it, as well as a dog sitting on the floor. The scene appears to be set in a room with a fireplace and a window with curtains. The overall atmosphere is one of relaxation and leisure. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to explore the Romanticism movement.
