Bronze sculpture of Louis Pasteur by Théodore Rivière (1857-1912), published by Susse Frères, Paris.
Théodore Rivière created this sculpture in 1901, six years after the death of the eminent scientist. He is represented in his working clothes, with a pilgrim's coat over his jacket and a cap over his short hair; details that underline the scientist's concern for asepsis.
