DescriptionJohan Gadolin.jpg
Portrait of Johan Gadolin (1760–1852). Scanned from the book Johan Gadolin 1760–1852 in memoriam (published in 1910). Artist unknown but most probably born many years before 1852, so the copyright has expired. Gadolin was 19 at the time of the portrait (around 1779), and "it is likely that this portrait was painted to ease his mother's heartache when her oldest surviving child first left home.
