In this image Edward Ferrars is on horseback, meeting Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret out for a walk. When they saw Edward in the distance, Marianne was convinced it was Willoughby and sped up. When she realized that it was not Willoughby, she began to turn back to go home, but her sisters and then Mr. Ferrars joined together in begging her to stop and continue on with them. This scene occurs in chapter 16. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style, as Marianne, Elinor, and Margaret wear the regency style dress with an empire waist. Elinor, Mrs. Dashwood, and Margaret wear bonnets, and carry muffs. Edward Ferrars a waistcoat and tailcoat with breeches and a 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.
