Description

In this image Lydia measures herself against her sisters, Kitty and Mary. This was how the three youngest girls entertained themselves while Mr. Bennet visited Mr. Bingley. This scene occurs in chapter 2. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Kitty, Lydia, and Mary wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines. 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.
