"Portrait of François Xavier Bichat (1771–1802)" is a notable work by the French artist Pierre Maximilien Delafontaine. François Xavier Bichat was a renowned anatomist and pathologist, whose work laid the foundations for the science of histology and the study of tissues. Delafontaine, an accomplished portraitist and miniaturist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, captured Bichat's likeness in this portrait, which has since become one of the most recognizable images of the medical pioneer.

The portrait is executed with the precision and attention to detail characteristic of Delafontaine's style. It depicts Bichat in a contemplative pose, reflecting the intellectual rigor and intensity for which he was known. The artwork serves not only as a representation of Bichat's physical appearance but also as a testament to his enduring legacy in the medical field.

While the exact date of the portrait's creation is not definitively known, it is believed to have been painted around the time of Bichat's death in 1802 or shortly thereafter, commemorating his contributions to medicine. The portrait is often referenced in discussions of Bichat's life and work, and it remains an important artifact for both art history and the history of science.
