This print captures the enigmatic Theroigne de Mericourt, an illustration from Etienne Esquirol's renowned work "Des Maladies Mentales considerees sous le rapport medical, hygienique et medico-legal". Created by Ambroise Tardieu in 1838, this engraving showcases Theroigne de Mericourt's haunting profile. Theroigne de Mericourt, born Anne Josephe Terwagne (1762-1817), was a former courtesan who became a prominent figure during the French Revolution. However, her life took a tragic turn when she was attacked by a group of Parisian Jacobins female. This incident led to her descent into madness and earned her nicknames such as "the Fury of the Gironde" and "the Panther". Etienne Esquirol, a distinguished French psychiatrist and director of La Salpetriere hospital and Charenton hospice, documented Theroigne de Mericourt's case as an example of mental illness. This portrait serves as a reminder of the complexities surrounding mental health during that era. Theroigne de Mericourt's story intertwines with themes of revolution and feminism. Her journey reflects both the tumultuous times she lived in and society's evolving understanding of mental illness. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, we are reminded not only of Theroigne de
