Description
-
In this image John Dashwood is introduced to Mrs. Jennings. Elinor and Marianne went to the shops to sell some of their mother’s old jewels. Mrs. Jenning had to run another errand across the street and told them she would meet them back at the carriage. Elinor and Marianne met their half-brother John Dashwood and he walked them back to the carriage where he was introduced to Mrs. Jennings. This scene occurs in chapter 33. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style, as Marianne, Elinor, and Mrs. Jennings wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines and wear bonnets. John Dashwood wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with breeches, a cravat and raises his 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.
