Dr. Pasteur

Timothy Cole after Albert Edelfelt

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man from the waist up in a laboratory. He is holding a glass flask and inspecting it closely, with his gaze directed downwards. The man has a robust facial structure, neatly trimmed beard and mustache, and slicked back hair. He is wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and bow tie. The laboratory is filled with scientific apparatus, including flasks, bottles, and a microscope on a wooden tabletop. A shelf behind him is lined with glassware and equipment. The background is shadowy, creating a tranquil yet studious ambiance.
