English: A standing group of 15 doctors wearing dark suits, some with white aprons. Each person is in a characteristic pose with an object related to his speciality. From left to right, one finds

• Gabriel Pouchet (1851 - 1938) holding a poisonous fungus since he was a doctor and naturalist like his father, Félix-Archimède.
  
• In front of him, André Chantemesse (1851-1919) with some flasks and a bottlebrush, was doctor and bacteriologist.
  
• In front Paul Poirier (1853-1907), anatomist and surgeon, wears evening dress and the rose he holds marks him as a man of the world.
  
• Behind P. Poirier, are Georges Dieulafoy (1839-1911), clinical professor of medicine at Paris Hospital, and
  
• Georges Debove (1845-1920) specialist in the nervous system. Both present a serious face.
  
• To his side, Paul Brouardel (1837-1906), smoking a cigar, rounded face, expressing a certain bonhomie. He is the foremost French hygienist, was police chief with the government in this field.
  
• In the foreground, next to Poirier, with hands on hips and business-like air, Samuel Pozzi (1846-1918), father of French gynaecology and skilful surgeon, his instruments attached to his apron, the forceps which bear his name and used for aiding with deliveries.
  
• Behind Pozzi, is Paul Tillaux (1834-1904), anatomist and surgeon, interested in the thyroid gland.
  
• At his side Georges Hayem (1841-1933), hematologist whose interest was chlorhydropsy in the blood (pepsin and hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice).
  
• Next to Georges Hayem is the large Victor Cornil (1837- 1908), master of pathological anatomy and microscopy, holding a pair of lungs in his left hand.
  
• Felix Guyon (1831-1920) holds a syringe - he was surgeon and urologist at the Necker hospital.
  
• Next to Guyon, in evening dress, Paul Berger (1845-1908), surgeon at various hospitals in Paris, specialist in interventions of the limbs, neck and face.
  
• The man with sweeping moustache is Pierre Launois (1856-1914), doctor and histologist who defined the nature of gigantism.
  

The last two individuals, dressed entirely in white, are Adolphe Pinard and Pierre Budin, obstetricians, and disciples of pasteurism.

• A. Pinard (1844-1934), father of French pediatrics, carries a child in his arms. In 1891 he wrote a work on breast-feeding and devoted his life to care of the expectant mother.
  
• P. Budin (1846-1907) holds in his right hand a pair of forceps and is accompanied by three foetuses. He was obstetrician at the hospital of Charity in Paris, fought against puerperal fever from 1870, and started the neonatal care of infants. In the right foreground a small character dressed in black, wearing a hat, and carrying an umbrella, is pursued by a giant speculum.
