"Dr. Metchnikoff" is an oil painting by French Symbolist artist Eugène Carrière (1849–1906), which portrays the Russian biologist, zoologist, and protozoologist Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov (also spelled Metchnikoff). Mechnikov was a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, known for his pioneering research in immunology and his work on phagocytosis. Carrière, renowned for his evocative and often monochromatic works that capture the essence of his subjects, was a contemporary of Mechnikov and part of the intellectual circles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The painting is a testament to Carrière's interest in the human condition and his ability to convey psychological depth. His use of muted colors and soft, diffused edges gives the portrait a dreamlike quality, which is characteristic of his style. The artwork not only captures the likeness of Dr. Mechnikov but also reflects the respect and admiration the artist had for the scientist's contributions to medicine and humanity.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is likely to have been produced during the height of Mechnikov's scientific career, possibly after he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1908, which he shared with Paul Ehrlich for their work on immunity. The portrait of Dr. Metchnikoff by Eugène Carrière is an important work that bridges the worlds of art and science, highlighting the cultural significance of scientific achievement during the artist's lifetime.

The painting is part of Carrière's broader oeuvre, which often focused on portraits, maternal scenes, and intimate family life. His works are known for their emotional intensity and the way they evoke the inner life of the subjects. "Dr. Metchnikoff" stands as a significant cultural artifact, not only for its artistic value but also for its representation of a key figure in the history of science.
