Description: In this image Mr. Elton dries his brow with his handkerchief. He had gone over to Donwell Abbey but could not find him there. He was quite perturbed that he had walked all the way to Donwell only to find it empty. He met William Larkins, but he only said that he did not know where Mr. Elton could find Mr. Knightley. This scene occurs in chapter 52. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Mr. Elton wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with a cravat. 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.
