Many of the neurologists who were protégés of Jean-Martin Charcot (1825–1893) at the Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris in the late nineteenth century remain familiar names to neurologists today, for example Joseph Babinski (1857–1932), Pierre Marie (1853–1940), and Georges Gilles de la Tourette (1857–1904). Many of these individuals may be seen in André Brouillet’s celebrated painting entitled “Un leçon clinique à la Salpêtrière” of 1887, which now hangs in a corridor near the Musée d’Histoire de la Médecine in Descartes University, 12 rue de l’Ecole de Médecine, in Paris. Perhaps few neurologists, though, will have heard of Charles Féré, also a Charcot protégé at the Salpêtrière, who is also to be seen in Brouillet’s painting (Fig. 1), second left from Charcot: his slightly wistful, enquiring appearance perhaps gives some clues as to his character.
