In this print titled "MFC-F-000950-0000" we are transported back to the enchanting era of masquerade balls and aristocratic grandeur. The full-length portrait showcases none other than Count Melzi, a distinguished nobleman who exudes an air of elegance and sophistication.

Every detail of his attire has been meticulously crafted, from the ornate hat perched atop his head to the intricately designed mantle that gracefully drapes around his shoulders. This ensemble not only reflects his social status but also highlights the opulence and extravagance prevalent during this period. The photographer duo Deroche & Heyland skillfully capture every nuance of Count Melzi's regal presence, ensuring that each element is brought to life with remarkable clarity. Their expertise allows us to appreciate not only the intricate details of his clothing but also the subtle expressions on his face – a testament to their ability to immortalize moments in time through their lens.
