Description: In this image Marianne draws Edward Ferrars aside while they were both at dinner at John Dashwood’s London home. She assures Edward that Lucy Steele would be leaving shortly, believing that Lucy had been monopolizing Edward’s attentions and denying Elinor any time with Edward. Marianne did not yet know that Lucy and Edward were engaged. This scene occurs in chapter 35. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style, as Marianne wears regency style dresses with an empire waistline. Edward wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with breeches. 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.
