This is my hand-printed linocut portrait of chemistry trailblazer Marie-Anne Paulze Lavoisier (20 January 1758 – 10 February 1836), wife and collaborator of French scientist Antoine Lavoisier (26 August 1743 – 8 May 1794). The prints are 9.25” x 12.5” and are printed on ivory Japanese kozo paper. She is shown seated at a table with various glassware they used and writing with a quill. The print is in a gradient of gold, turquoise and pale blue on ivory paper.
