"The Prison of La Petite Roquette, 1890" is a painting by French artist Louis Montégut, which captures a poignant scene at the La Petite Roquette prison in Paris. This institution, primarily known for housing juvenile offenders and women, was operational from 1836 to 1974. Montégut's work is a historical document of the prison's architecture and the societal attitudes towards incarceration during the late 19th century. The painting is characterized by its detailed representation of the prison's façade and the somber mood that reflects the grim reality of the inmates' lives.

In the artwork, Montégut employs a realist style, which was prevalent among many artists of his era who were influenced by the social and political changes in France. The painting serves as a visual commentary on the justice system and the conditions within the penal institutions of the time. Montégut's attention to detail not only in the architectural elements but also in the depiction of the figures conveys a sense of the daily life and the atmosphere surrounding the prison.

Although the painting is not as widely recognized as the works of Montégut's contemporaries, it holds significance for its historical and cultural portrayal of a notable Parisian landmark. "The Prison of La Petite Roquette, 1890" is an important piece for those interested in the history of French art, social history, and the evolution of the penal system in France. The painting is also a testament to Montégut's skill as an artist and his commitment to capturing the social realities of his time.
