"Prisoners Exercising (after Dore)" is an oil painting by the Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh, created in February 1890 during his time at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. The work is a reinterpretation of an engraving by Gustave Doré for 'The Newgate Exercise Yard', which was an illustration for Charles Dickens's novel 'Little Dorrit'. Van Gogh's version, measuring 80 cm x 64 cm, is held in the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, Russia.

The painting depicts a group of prisoners walking in a circle in a barren exercise yard, enclosed by high walls with a watchful guard overseeing them. The scene is rendered with Van Gogh's characteristic swirling brushstrokes and a somber palette, conveying the oppressive atmosphere and the monotony of the prisoners' existence. The composition is dominated by the circular movement of the figures, which reflects the artist's own feelings of confinement and despair during his institutionalization.

Van Gogh's interest in the work of Doré, and particularly in the theme of imprisonment, is indicative of his empathetic engagement with the human condition and his own personal struggles with mental illness. "Prisoners Exercising (after Dore)" is not only a testament to Van Gogh's admiration for Doré's artistry but also a poignant commentary on isolation and the search for freedom, themes that resonate with the artist's psychological state and experiences. The painting is considered an important work in Van Gogh's oeuvre, illustrating his capacity to transform existing artworks into his own unique vision and style.
