The city of Paris commissioned the work in 1886, six years after the artist had returned from London. A plaster example of Lavoisier was exhibited at the Salon of 1890 and the bronze at the Salon of 1901. One of only three models to be edited during Dalou's lifetime, the bronzes were cast in small numbers and carefully supervised by the artist.
