One was a Prince, one was a Count, and the third was a commoner, who four years earlier had been the subject of one of John Singer Sargent's greatest portraits. The commoner was Samuel Pozzi, society doctor, pioneer gynaecologist and free-thinker - a scientific man with a famously complicated private life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePozzi's life played out against the backdrop of the Parisian Belle Epoque.
