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
