Description: In this image Mr. Darcy, Caroline Bingley, and Mrs. Hurst are out for a walk together in the gardens of Netherfield. Coming upon Lizzy, Mr. Darcy suggests they move to a wider pathway, not knowing she was also out. Lizzy declines, telling them to continue as they were and she was happy to continue alone. This scene occurs in chapter 10. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Caroline Bingley, Mrs. Hurst, and Lizzy wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines. They wear bonnets to protect their faces from the sun. Mr. Darcy wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with a top hat. 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.
