The production took place at the Academie Royale de Musique in Paris during the year 1846. Anconi's powerful presence is evident as he dons an intricately detailed armour suit, complete with chainmail, helm, and gauntlets. His sword is held firmly in his right hand, while his left hand rests on the hilt, adorned with heraldic symbols. The meticulously crafted spurs on his boots add an authentic touch to his portrayal of a gallant knight.
