Description

In this image Elinor looks out the window at Cleveland. Marianne was very ill and Colonel Brandon rode to Barton Cottage to bring her mother back to Cleveland. Elinor expected Colonel Brandon and her mother that night and opened the window upon hearing a carriage. The carriage she heard, however, was not her mother and Colonel Brandon, but rather was Willoughby. He heard of Marianne’s illness, and he had come to tell her that he had truly cared for Marianne and the letter he sent to her in London was written by his wife who was jealous. This scene occurs in chapter 43. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Elinor wears a regency style dress with an empire waistline, and a sash tied around her waist. 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.
