1811 Austen Elinor Ferrars Lucy Muff Sense Sensibility Steele
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting scene from Jane Austen's beloved novel, "Sense and Sensibility," Lucy Steele (portrayed here in an elegant Regency-era costume, complete with a cozy muff) proudly displays the portrait of Edward Ferrars to Elinor Dashwood. The year is 1811, and the sisters' lives have been turned upside down by a series of romantic entanglements and misunderstandings. Edward, a shy and reserved young man, has recently confessed his love for Elinor, but she remains uncertain of his true feelings. In an attempt to win her over, Lucy, who harbors her own secret affection for Edward, presents Elinor with this portrait as proof of his devotion. Elinor, portrayed here with a thoughtful expression and a stack of books in her lap, examines the portrait intently. She is known for her sense of reason and rationality, and she is weighing the evidence before her to determine the truth about Edward's feelings. The portrait itself is a testament to the time period's obsession with capturing the likenesses of loved ones. Edward's serious expression and well-groomed appearance speak to his character, while the intricate details of his attire and the delicate folds of Lucy's muff add to the overall sense of authenticity. This moment in the novel is a poignant reminder of the importance of appearances and the role they play in shaping our perceptions of others. It also highlights the complex web of relationships and emotions that Austen so masterfully explores in "Sense and Sensibility.
