Abstract: Portrait of Benjamin Franklin
Comment: In receiving this painting on October 23 1783, Benjamin Franklin wrote to Madame Lavoisier the following: “I have long time been disabled from writing to my dear friend, by a severe fit of the gout, or I should have return’d my thanks for her kind present of the portrait, which she has herself done me the honour to make of me. It is allow’d by those who have seen it to have great merit as a picture in every respect; but what particularly endears it to me, is the hand who drew it.” Of this portrait Madame Lavoisier made two copies. One, the present, which was sent to Benjamin Franklin, the other which was retained by Madame Lavoisier and passed over Lavoisier's heirs. The latter was probably sold during the 1950s by Nelly de Chazelles and no photographic reproduction is known.
