Portrait of Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and his wife
Portrait of Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and his Wife is a double portrait of the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier and his wife and collaborator Marie-Anne. Commissioned from the French painter Jacques-Louis David in 1788 for 7,000 livres, the portrait remained in the family until 1924, when it was acquired by John D. Rockefeller. Since 1977, it has been held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.Painting: Jacques-Louis David
