Description
-
In this image Willoughby enters a shop in London to avoid seeing Marianne and Elinor. He knew how much he hurt Marianne and wanted to avoid hurting her further. He also knew that meeting would cause a scene which he also wanted to avoid. This scene occurs in chapter 44. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Willoughby wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with a cravat and wears a top hat in his hand he carries a walking stick. 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.
