Description
-
Here we see Fanny sitting on a bench with Miss Maria Bertram, Mr. Rushworth, and Mr. Crawford walking towards her. Fanny and her cousins went on a day trip to Sotherton, Mr. Rushworth’s estate. Mr. Rushworth was engaged to Miss Maria Bertram, the eldest Bertram daughter. Fanny was walking with Edmund and Miss Crawford and got tired and then the three of them sat down on a bench. Miss Crawford got restless, and she and Edmund continued on their walk, leaving Fanny alone. Miss Bertram, Mr. Rushworth, and Mr. Crawford approached her and spoke briefly, before deciding to walk through another part of the garden closed off by a gate. Mr. Rushworth went back to the house to get the key, but before he could return Miss Bertram and Mr. Crawford became impatient and climbed over the fence. This scene occurs in chapter 10 as noted underneath the title of this image. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Fanny and Maria Bertram wear the regency style dress with an empire waist. Their hair is worn tied up, and they wear bonnets to protect their faces from the shade. Both hold parasols, also used to shade themselves from the sun. Mr. Rushworth and Mr. Crawford wear waistcoats and tailcoats, and knickers that stop at the knee, and top hats. The regency period dated to the early nineteenth century (1811-1820) when George, Prince of Wales, later George IV (r. 1820-1830), reigned as regent for his mentally ill father, King George III (r. 1760-1820). The regency period is associated with the rise of neoclassicism in art and fashion.
