Sitting under trees with Fanny

Description
-
In this image Edmund and Fanny sit under a tree on the Mansfield estate. The two spent many evenings walking through the grounds together and had a tremendous effect on improving Edmund’s mood. Edmund had been very concerned about his brother Tom’s illness, Maria’s scandal with Mr. Crawford, and Julia’s elopement with Mr. Yates. Spending time with Fanny dramatically improved his mood and made him come to the realization that he loved Fanny, and the two ultimately got married. This scene occurs in chapter 48. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Fanny wears a regency style dress with an empire waistline. She has a short coat, bonnet, and carries a parasol. Edmund wears a waistcoat, and tailcoat, with breeches. In his hand he holds a top hat and a walking cane. 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.
