That’s a lovely portrait and a book I think I’m going to have to have.

I read this precious book by Deirdre la Faye and found it indispensable to any real Austenette’s library. It also “inspired” some good postings on my blog.

I agree with you. My Lizzy would also have hair arranged in a way that looks less heavy (and in the way) around her face.

I think the portrait could fit as Elizabeth Bennet Rather well perhaps less Elizabeth around 20-21 as in the book but more Lizzy around 25 to 30 years old.

Definitely a beautiful portrait! My Lizzy would definitely have to have livelier eyes, I think — but I could go along with this one!

Very beautiful! :) But I imagine Lizzie to have a lighter figure, as mentioned in books. But who knows, maybe it’s the dress.

Very cool! And that definitely looks like how I would imagine Lizzie. :)

That is a lovely potrait. Yes it really is a Regency Mona Lisa.
