Salpêtrière hospital, Paris: Philippe Pinel freeing the insane from their chains. Oil painting by T. Robert-Fleury, ca. 1876.
A dim hospital hall holds a group of figures in ragged clothing, some seated on the floor or a bench, others gathered around a man in a dark coat and top hat. A pale-clothed woman with loose dark hair stands at the center, while a seated woman at right turns toward the viewer. The oil painting uses heavy shadow and warm, earthy tones.

Una sala hospitalaria en penumbra reúne a figuras con ropas desgastadas, algunas sentadas en el suelo o en un banco, otras agrupadas alrededor de un hombre con abrigo oscuro y sombrero de copa. En el centro, una mujer con vestido claro y cabello oscuro suelto está de pie, mientras otra mujer sentada a la derecha gira la mirada. La pintura al óleo usa sombras intensas y tonos cálidos y terrosos.
