Les Exilés. is a 1916 oil by Alexandre-François Bonnardel, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
The painting depicts a group of people gathered in a dimly lit room. In the center, a man is seen carrying a sack on his back, while a young girl stands beside him. To the left, a group of men are engaged in conversation, with one of them leaning on a cane. On the right, a woman is visible, holding an infant. The overall atmosphere of the scene is somber. A notable detail in the painting is the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of depth and volume. This is evident in the way the light source illuminates the figures, casting shadows that add to the overall mood of the scene.

Alexandre-François Bonnardel (1867–1942) was an artist, born in Pajay.
