Don César de Bazan
1903
Meet Don César de Bazan, a fictional nobleman who lived life to the fullest, captured here by Ferdinand Roybet in 1903. The figure stands in a dramatic pose, inspecting a glass of wine against the light while wearing a fabulous slashed doublet and a hat large enough to block out the sun. Roybet was a master of historical genre painting, often obsessed with the textures of 17th-century fashion, from the gleaming leather boots to the heavy red cloak. Don't miss the meat pie on the table in the background—even a romantic hero needs a good snack.
