Description

Here we see Henry Crawford and Fanny. After returning from London, Henry Crawford announced to his sister that he was going to make Fanny like him. He had dined with Fanny after Maria and Julia were absent from Mansfield. He was quite taken by Fanny. He spent the remainder of his time at Mansfield wooing Fanny but was unsuccessful. Before he left Mansfield he proposed to Fanny, but she refused. He was not discouraged by this rejection and continued to try and impress her, even coming to visit her at Portsmouth. In this image, Fanny is sitting at a desk copying down a letter for Lady Bertram. Mr. Crawford stands at the door admiring Fanny as she writes as he prepares to leave from a visit with the Bertrams. This scene occurs in chapter 30 as noted underneath the title of this image. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Mary Crawford wears the regency style dress with an empire waist. And her hair is worn tied up. Mr. Crawford wears a waistcoat and tailcoat, and knickers that stop at the knee. 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.
