In this vividly colored lithograph, created by an anonymous French artist from the 20th century, we witness a startling scene unfold before our eyes. A naked lunatic is seen dashing through the corridors with wild abandon, his disheveled hair flowing behind him as he navigates the maze-like structure. The image evokes a sense of surprise and confusion among those who encounter this bizarre spectacle.

The pursuit seems to be relentless as this mentally ill individual continues his frenzied chase up a flight of stairs.
