The participants

Except for the four individuals to Charcot's left, the participants are arranged in two concentric arcs: the inner circle displaying "sixteen of his current and former physician associates [arranged] in reverse order of seniority", and the outer, depicting "the older generation of [physician associates] … along with philosophers, writers, and friends of Charcot".

Both Signoret (1983, p. 689) and Harris (2005, p. 471) have identified each of the individuals depicted in Brouillet's tableau; and Signoret (passim) provides substantial biographical details of each.

The Charcot group of five are (from right-to-left): Mlle. Ecary, a nurse at the Salpêtrière; Marguerite Bottard, the Salpêtrière's nursing director; Joseph Babinski (1875-1933), Charcot's chief house officer; Marie "Blanche" Wittman, Charcot's patient; and Jean-Martin Charcot himself.

The inner window-side group

The six sitting in the window-side of the painting are (from right to left): Paul Richer (1849-1933), medical artist, anatomist and physician (who created the painting on the back wall); Charles Samson Féré (1852-1907), psychiatrist, Charcot's assistant, and Charcot's secretary; Pierre Marie (1853-1940), neurologist; Édouard Brissaud (1852-1909), neurologist and pathologist; Paul-Adrien Berbez (1859-?), physician, student of Charcot, and neurologist; and Gilbert Ballet (1853-1917), destined to be one of Charcot's last chief residents.

The remaining thirteen individuals are (from left to right): Théodule Ribot (1839-1916), psychologist; Georges Guignon (1839-1932), neuropsychiatrist, and one of Charcot's last chief residents; Albert Londe (1858-1917), medical photographer, and chronophotographer (wearing an apron); Léon Grujon Le Bas (1834-1907), chief hospital administrator; Albert Gombault (1844-1904), neurologist and anatomist; Paul Arène (1843-1896), novelist; Jules Claretie (1840-1913), journalist and literary figure; Alfred Joseph Naquet (1834-1916), physician, chemist, and politician; Désiré-Magloire Bourneville (1840-1909), neurologist and politician; Henry Berbez, younger brother of Paul-Adrien Berbez (sitting opposite), and a student of Charcot; Henri Parinaud (1844-1905), ophthalmologist and neorologist; Romain Vigouroux, chief of electrodiagnostics, discoverer of the electrical activity of the skin; and, finally, in the apron, Georges Gilles de la Tourette (1857-1904), neurologist and physician.
