Description

In this image Mr. Knightley tells Emma that he loves her. She was out on a walk in the gardens of Hartfield. She was upset because after finding out that Harriet loved Mr. Knightley, she came to the realization that she herself loved him. Mr. Knightley confesses that he had loved her for a long time and was jealous of Frank Churchill because he thought that Emma loved him. Emma responded that her love for Frank Churchill was not real, and that she had always loved him. This scene occurs in chapter 49. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Emma wears a regency style dress with an empire waist and a bonnet. Mr. Knightley wears a tailcoat and an overcoat with a cravat. 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.
