Description

In this image Mrs. Jennings tells Marianne she knows where she and Willoughby had gone that day. Marianne and Willoughby had gone alone to walk through the grounds of Willoughby’s future estate, Allenham. Elinor felt that this excursion was inappropriate because they were not engaged and there was another woman living at the property. Mrs. Jennings tells Marianne this at a dinner hosted by Lady Middleton and Sir John. This scene occurs in chapter 13. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style, as Marianne, Elinor, and Mrs. Jennings wear the regency style dress with an empire waist. Willoughby wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with breeches and 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.
