Prisoners’ Round (after Gustave Doré), also known as The Prisoners’ Round, or Prisoners Exercising, or Penitentiary (after Doré), (F669) is an oil painting of February 1890 by Vincent van Gogh. This late work was painted at Saint-Paul Asylum in Saint-Rémy, inspired by an 1872 engraving by Gustave Doré of the exercise yard (le bagne) at Newgate Prison. The original oil painting is held by the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.

Wow, very wow.
It’s both pleasant in terms of palette, technique, and light & shadow interplay, yet strikingly depressing in terms of subject matter and claustrophobic nature.
