  1. What year was this, I wonder? I have been immersed in the early 19th c lately and when I see the way men dressed, I can't help but think they were just built differently than we are now with narrower waists. DO you think so?? Great painting....

  2. This painting is 1840's. Although it is little talked about now men wore corsets during the first half of the 19th century making there waist more narrower then usual.
