Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hello, > > Hello, > > I am hoping someone familiar with men's style of dressing in the 19th > century can help me. Our family has a portrait in which the subject is > wearing a white shirt with a frilly front and a soft winged type collar , a > wide black cravat tied in a loose bow, a pale mustard waistcoat and a black > cut away jacket. His hair is cut quite short with a 'kiss curl'. My own > guess is c.1830 > > If I knew the approximate date when men were dressed in this manner in it > she mentions variously portraits ( paintings) by the subject's name. > > I can send a likeness off list if required. > > Thanks, > > Nick
