Illustration for Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, published by The Folio Society, 2007.
Pen & Ink and watercolour.
Pride and Prejudice was first written in 1797 (before its revision in 1813), and the action was probably originally envisioned to take place around 1795/6. Although waistlines were beginning to rise then, this was still considerably before they had become the high Empire line most of us associate with Austen.
I stumbled upon this and the other Pride and Prejudice illustrations among my picture files and thought I may as well upload them for now. I do mean to change them for better ones at a larger size when that becomes possible. For the moment I do apologize that they're so small.
Love the details in the costumes... I just wish I could see it all better. Great idea to add in all the bonnet trimming paraphernalia. Reading Austen and looking at your art makes me want to make my own bonnets. lol
Himmapaan - you are simply astounding! You did this in pen and watercolor huh? I have got to get into watercolor - you're inspiring me to do new things! Thanks!
Oooh, this one is delightful. I think this is my favorite of your Jane Austen works that I've seen thus far. It has a lively feel that perfectly fits the scene.
I love the way you handled the composition as well. The clothing and bonnets trailing on the ground balance it out nicely.

I think this is my favorite of the 3 you've posted today. Austen is so often considered romance, but I think that the reason they endure is that she works so hard to establish the non-romantic relationships. They're complex and wonderful and in the end, they're still family, even though some of them do monumentally stupid things. Bravo - can't wait for the larger versions!
