Lord Alvanley, British Barrister and Peer, circa 1815: A Portrait of Elegance and Distinction This profile portrait depicts Lord Alvanley, also known as Richard Pepper Arden, a prominent British barrister and peer during the Regency era, circa 1815. The image showcases Lord Alvanley's refined and sophisticated attire, which was characteristic of the fashionable dress codes of the time. Lord Alvanley wears a top hat, a symbol of high social status, and a double-breasted coat with an M-cut collar. The coat is cut away at the front, revealing a crisp, white shirt and waistcoat beneath. The strapped pantaloons, a fashionable alternative to breeches, complete the ensemble. Sideburns and whiskers add to his distinguished appearance. The Regency period, which spanned from 1811 to 1820, was a time of great social and political change in Britain. The fashion scene was no exception, with men's clothing evolving to reflect the era's opulence and refinement. The cut-away front of Lord Alvanley's coat and the strapped pantaloons are prime examples of the fashion trends of the time. Lord Alvanley's portrait not only offers a glimpse into the sartorial sensibilities of the Regency era but also highlights the elegance and distinction of a man of high standing in British society. The intricate details of his attire, from the top hat to the strapped pantaloons, serve as a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that characterized the fashion of the time.
