Description
-
In this image Miss Crawford looks out the door at Edmund after he visited her in London. He went to visit her after hearing about the scandal between Mr. Crawford and Mary. Miss Crawford only seemed to show regret that the two had been caught, rather than renounce their behaviour. She also said that the scandal was Fanny’s fault because she refused to marry Mr. Crawford and so he felt the need to be satisfied elsewhere and turned to Maria with whom he had been flirting while at Mansfield. This upset Edmund, believing it to show her true colours. As he left, she stopped him, calling his name, smiling at him, trying to subdue him in a manner ill suited to the conversation that had passed. This scene occurs in chapter 47. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Miss Crawford wears a regency style dress with an empire waistline 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.
