The Presentation — Monte Cristo Meets Count de Morcerf (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 41 – Part 6)

In The Count of Monte Cristo, Albert leads the count into the Morcerf family salon, where another portrait commands attention.

Monte Cristo studies the painted likeness of Count de Morcerf, noting the military uniform and distinguished decorations that mark his career. Moments later, the portrait gives way to reality as Count de Morcerf himself enters the room. Monte Cristo remains motionless, his gaze fixed on the man before him.

The long-awaited introduction begins in complete silence.
