Gericault Insane Woman

Insane Women is an oil painting completed in 1822 by Gericault. He did a series on the mental insane and this was included. He examined the influence of mental states on the human face. He also believes that a face more accurately revealed character while in madness or at the moment of death. He made many studies of inmates in hospitals or institutions. He also studied of guillotine victims.

Nasty, but interesting (Kind of like "Slime, yet satisfying").
