Le Chevalier des Adrets est l'amant... is a 1838 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a man sitting on a chair, looking up at a woman who is leaning over him. The woman is wearing a long dress and has her hair pulled back. The man is dressed in formal attire, including a suit and tie. In the background, there are several other people standing around, seemingly watching the scene unfold. The atmosphere appears to be one of tension and drama. The artist's use of bold lines and expressive facial expressions adds to the emotional impact of the scene.
