Dr. Pasteur is a 1925 ink by Timothy Cole, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a man in a dark robe standing in a laboratory, holding a glass container with a stopper in his right hand and a small white object in his left. The room is filled with various scientific equipment and bottles on shelves and tables. The man's face is blurred, and the background is a dimly lit room with curtains. The artist has used a range of grays to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The man's robe and the equipment in the room are rendered in intricate detail, giving the impression of a busy and cluttered space. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Cole, Timothy.
Timothy Cole (1852–1931) was an American artist, born in London.
