Taken between 1855 and 1865 in France, this carte de visite by Carjat, Etienne showcases Gonzals' enigmatic personality and his contribution to the world of literature. In this portrait, Gonzals exudes an air of sophistication with his impeccable fashion sense. Dressed for daytime success, he dons a stylish bowtie that perfectly complements his formal attire. Every detail has been carefully chosen to reflect his refined taste in clothing. As we gaze into Gonzals' piercing eyes, it is impossible not to be drawn into the depth of his intellect.
