Anne Harbers Presents: Jane Austen Art & Dress
This event is part of our NSW Seniors Festival 2025 program.
The portrait of Jane Austen by her sister Cassandra is much loved even though we cannot see her face, only her clothes. How do we read the costumes and social symbols in paintings from 18th century Britain?
Anne Harbers is an independent Art Historian and Lecturer and will explore how dress can be read both in Literature and Art.
