What an interesting concept to search for images to match Austen’s description. Well done.
Thank you. I love looking at portraits from the era.
You have some great picks there! Especially Wickham!lol That expression and those devious eyes! Darcy and Bingley and Colonel Brandon were great too! What a fun post!
Thank you!
The second I saw that portrait I used for Wickham he looked perfect to me. Super hot but you kind of get the feeling he’s a bit slimey too.
Gilbert Heathcote! His real life is much closer to Wentworth’s than Wickham’s, but that painting! 😂
Yes, I did look up his history and he seems like a fine person, but there is something about that portrait, especially his hips being a little forward (lol), that makes me think of Wickham!
This was fun! It was interesting to read the descriptions of Mr. Elliot and Mr. Crawford, who I’ve always pictured as attractive–but I guess their personalities colored my view. I loved that description of Henry Tilney as not quite handsome but very near it.
Your book sounds fun! Great idea for Sir Walter to seek out some hair dye.
Thank you!
I love the description of Henry too, Jane Austen really seemed to be having fun in that novel.
I see Mr. Crawford and Mr. Elliot wrong a lot, maybe because of the adaptations? Not sure!
I think my novel is fun but I’m biased obviously, lol.
Interesting post, Bethany. I had to laugh though as Baron Holstein’s painting was one I used as the original cover on ‘Lord Brookton’ the third lord in my Four Lords’ Series. I pictured Jules Lagrant as a fiery, temperamental redhead who fell in love with a beautiful young lady with five brothers who had taught her how to defend herself after being attacked at age eight. She not only could handle weapons, she felled him with a left hook that found him in the road wondering what happened.
I loved seeing the painting again. And, yes, he is a good looking guy. 🙂
Cool! He is a very good looking guy, that’s why I saved him for Willoughby. He might be a terrible person, but he’s definitely hot!
[…] As for the male characters, I already covered them in one of my previous posts! […]
