Philemon and Baucis is a 1927 ink by Timothy Cole, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a serene scene of three people gathered around a table. The central figure, a man with long hair, sits at the table with a woman to his right and another man to his left. The table holds a large bowl and a smaller object, possibly a cup. The room's interior features wooden beams and a window with a curtain. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of warmth and intimacy in the scene. The figures' facial expressions are calm and gentle, adding to the overall sense of tranquility.
