We see right, overcoming an imposing fireplace, the large tank where was melted tallow which was used to make candles.

The painting depicts the hall of the old Hotel Dieu which was melted tallow (animal fat) for making candles. It was located at the Seine, in one of the halls of the hospital Commons, Room Infirmary room or Saint John. We see right, overcoming an imposing fireplace, the large tank where was melted tallow. The identification of the place is because some Demachy also completed a gouache showing the same room from another point of view, which fortunately is accompanied by an explicit legend: "The Fondrie of God The hotel where the fire took 1773 "It is known, for testimonies of the time, the fire of December 30, 1772, which destroyed in background fills a large part of the buildings of the old hospital" took around one in the morning, in the place where one makes the effort and where we put tallow. "The excitement caused by the event is causing a rich iconography showing the ruins; for example, we know many drawings of Gabriel de Saint-Aubin or Hubert Robert.
