Dandyism in the Romantic period a ballroom in 1834. The gentleman is wearing tight fitting pants, that are lighter than his coat. His pants have boot straps as well, reminiscent of an English riding costume. He wears a short-waisted coat with basques (or tails) à l'anglaise, or longer tails. In his hand, he carries a haut-de-forme (or top-hat). He is dressed rather somberly, reminiscent of the spirit of the 'spleen' during the Romantic Period. The woman seated in front of the man wears a fur-trimmed blue dress and a white feather in her hair. Abstract source: Boucher, François. 20,000 Years of
