"Dementia" is a notable illustration from the seminal work "Des Maladies Mentales considérées sous les rapports médical, hygiénique et médico-légal" (Mental Illnesses considered from medical, hygienic, and medico-legal aspects) by the French psychiatrist Étienne Esquirol. Published in 1838, this illustration was created by Ambroise Tardieu, an artist known for his medical and forensic illustrations. Esquirol (1772–1840) was a pioneering figure in the early study of mental disorders and is considered one of the founders of modern psychiatry.

The illustration "Dementia" is part of a series of plates that visually depict various mental illnesses, which Esquirol described and classified in his comprehensive treatise. The work itself was groundbreaking for its time, as it provided one of the first systematic approaches to the classification of mental disorders and offered insights into their treatment and management, emphasizing the importance of patient care and the conditions of mental asylums.

Esquirol's text, accompanied by Tardieu's illustrations, was influential in shaping the understanding of mental health in the 19th century, and the images served as a visual reference for medical professionals of the era. The illustration "Dementia" is particularly significant as it reflects the 19th-century medical community's attempt to comprehend and categorize mental illness through both clinical observation and artistic representation. It is a valuable historical artifact that provides insight into the early visual culture of psychiatry and the evolving perceptions of mental health conditions during that period.
