Description: In this image Willoughby offers Sir John one of his dog, Folly’s puppies. Sir John and Elinor discuss Willoughby and his deceitfulness. Sir John thought that Willoughby was a good and upstanding man, but the recent news of his jilting Marianne totally changed his opinion of Willoughby. This scene occurs in chapter 32. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style, as Sir John wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with breeches and a top hat. Willoughby wears a riding coat and a top hat and holds a whip. Willoughby’s stable boy wears a riding outfit and holds a puppy on a leash. 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.
