Painted by Maurice Quentin de la Tour, this oil masterpiece captures her intellectual prowess and noble stature. Gabrielle-Emilie du Chatelet was not only a mathematician and physicist but also an accomplished author. Her contributions to these fields were groundbreaking, defying societal expectations for women at that time. In this painting, she is depicted seated at her desk, surrounded by books and a compass - symbols of knowledge and exploration.

This print serves as a reminder of the immense contributions made by women throughout history despite facing numerous obstacles. It celebrates Gabrielle-Emilie du Chatelet's legacy as an influential writer, mathematician, physicist, and advocate for female empowerment during an era dominated by men.
