Lavoisier and his wife. This 1788 portrait, by the French painter Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825), shows the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794) and his wife Marie-Anne Pierrette Paulze (1758-1836), more commonly known as Madame Lavoisier. They married in 1771 when she was 13, and over the years she helped her husband with much of his scientific work. Scientific equipment shown here include a barometer, a gasometer, a water still, a glass bell jar, and a large round-bottom flask with a tap. The original portrait, which is oil on canvas, is held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
