Hysteria presented

Un Leçon Clinique à la Salpêtrière, 1887. André Brouillet

In this painting, Charcot is instructing at the Salpetriere. Joseph Babinski is supporting the swooning woman. The bearded, seated chap, left of center, with his right index finger to his temple is Gilles de la Tourette.
