"Depressive Woman" is a notable illustration from the seminal work "Des Maladies Mentales considérées sous le rapport médical, hygiénique et médico-légal" (On Mental Illnesses, considered from the medical, hygienic, and medico-legal perspectives) 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 psychiatry, and his work laid the foundation for modern understanding and treatment of mental health conditions.

The illustration "Depressive Woman" is part of a series of plates that visually represent various mental disorders, which Esquirol described and classified in his book. These images served as an important educational tool for medical professionals of the time, providing a visual reference to complement Esquirol's descriptions of mental illnesses. The depiction of the "Depressive Woman" is particularly significant as it reflects the 19th-century views on melancholia, a condition that we would now refer to as depression.

Esquirol's approach to categorizing and understanding mental illnesses was innovative for his time, and his inclusion of detailed illustrations such as "Depressive Woman" exemplifies his commitment to a comprehensive and empathetic portrayal of psychiatric patients. The work of Esquirol and Tardieu contributed to the destigmatization of mental illness and highlighted the importance of visual documentation in medical literature. The illustration remains an important historical artifact, reflecting the intersection of art, medicine, and psychology during the 19th century.
