A Choral Band is a 1784 ink by Lydia Bates, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a group of people gathered together, all looking in different directions. Some are sitting, while others are standing. The scene is set in a room with a high ceiling and large windows. The people in the painting are all dressed in old-fashioned clothing, with men wearing hats and women wearing long dresses. Some of them are holding objects, such as books or musical instruments. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with everyone lost in their own thoughts.
