Image description

Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins OM, PRS, English biochemist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1929, with Christiaan Eijkman, for the discovery of vitamins. He also discovered the amino acid tryptophan, in 1901. He was President of the Royal Society from 1930 to 1935. Hopkins is painted seated at a desk or laboratory bench. There are two papers in front of the scientist, on a blue blotter. One shows the wavelengths of the absorption band seen by a spectroscope in light which has passed through a solution. Hopkins’ hand rests by a pencil on a pad headed ‘Lepidoporphyrin’, a term coined by him for the pigment found in butterfly wings and the subject of his first paper Royal Society-published paper.
