"Woman with Gambling Mania" is a painting by the French artist Théodore Géricault, created circa 1822 as part of a series of portraits depicting patients with various psychological afflictions. Géricault, renowned for his masterwork "The Raft of the Medusa," was a pivotal figure in the Romantic movement, and his interest in the human condition and psychological depth is evident in this lesser-known series.

The painting portrays a middle-aged woman with an intense gaze, capturing the fervor and desperation associated with compulsive gambling, which was recognized as a form of mental disorder during the period. The subject's expression and demeanor reflect a sense of mania, as she appears consumed by her obsession. Géricault's use of lighting and brushwork emphasizes the emotional turmoil of the sitter, making the portrait a powerful study of human psychology.

This work is one of five portraits commissioned by Dr. Étienne-Jean Georget, a psychiatrist at the Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, who was interested in the physiognomy of the mentally ill. Géricault's portraits from this series are considered pioneering works for their empathetic and dignified portrayal of mental illness, contrasting with the often stigmatized views of the time.

"Woman with Gambling Mania" is held in high regard for its artistic and historical significance, offering insight into early 19th-century perceptions of mental health and the evolution of psychiatric care. The painting is also notable for its contribution to the understanding of Géricault's oeuvre beyond his more famous works, showcasing his skill in capturing the complexities of the human psyche.
