Описание: This portrait belongs to a series of five portraits of mad people painted by Géricault before his stay in England (1820-1821). With regards to these portraits, it is customary to write that almost nothing is known about their origins. In a letter from 1863, the critic Louis Viardot tells about their discovery by chance at Baden Baden and considers these maniacs as obsessive. He specifies the nature of each obsession: stealing children (Springfield), military leadership (Winterthur), robbery (Ghent), gambling (Louvre) and envy (Lyon). By avoiding all hints of the picturesque, the artist has portrayed a true clinical likeness of this madwoman, thereby breaking with the traditional rules of portraiture. He insists in particular on certain elements, such as the woman’s cap, her clothing, her strange expression and her bulging eyes.
