Description
-
In this image Marianne runs out of the drawing room crying as Elinor, Mrs. Dashwood, and Margaret return home from a walk. In this scene, Willoughby had come to tell Marianne that he had to leave and would likely not be back at Barton Park for another year. Marianne was distraught to hear this, and spent several days crying in her room. This scene occurs in chapter 15. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style, as Marianne, Elinor, Margaret and Mrs. Dashwood wear the regency style dress with an empire waist. Elinor, Mrs. Dashwood, and Margaret wear bonnets, and Marianne hides her face in her handkerchief. 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.
