Walter Baker, Inventor of a Medicine is a 1733 ink by Thomas Worlidge, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a man sitting at a desk, surrounded by papers and books. He is dressed in 18th-century attire, with a coat and waistcoat, and has a serious expression on his face. The background is dark, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The man's pose suggests that he is engaged in intellectual work, possibly writing or studying. The presence of papers and books on the desk reinforces this idea. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of quiet contemplation.
