Jeffrey

19th century, Regency era in London, England; a vibrant, socially stratified city where the upper class, known as the "Ton" (held significant power and influence, dictating fashion, social norms, and who was considered 'in' or 'out') dominated the scene with lavish balls, fashionable attire, and strict social codes, while the majority of the population lived in poverty, often crammed into slums, with a stark contrast between the opulent lifestyle of the elite and the harsh realities of the working class. Regency architecture often featured pastel-colored stucco facades, intricate ironwork, colonnades, curved windows, and elaborate doorways. High-waisted dresses, elaborate hairstyles, top hats, and tailored suits were the fashion staples, with a focus on elegance and refinement. Almack's: referred to as the most exclusive social gathering place, essentially a high-society dance hall where the elite would go to be seen and potentially find suitable marriage partners.

[Backstory]

• Jeffrey was born to a family with four other siblings. His mother died during childbirth when he was young and the child didn't survive infancy. His father owned the White Wolf Inn in a small town in London, and though it wasn't prosperous, it was enough to get by
• He proved to have a natural ability for drawing and his father would use this to their advantage by asking the gentlemen staying if they would like their portraits drawn.
• Word spread and he grew popular amongst the locals, and then more influential figures—some of which even offering to send him to Italy though his Father refused
• At age 18, he already had works exhibited in the Royal Academy of Arts, some of which received controversy. He enrolled only to drop out when he felt that he could hone his skills and style by just painting more on his own, rather than follow a curriculum.
• A big turning point in his life was his first royal commission to paint a portrait of Queen Charlotte; he made a good impression on the princesses and ladies-in-waiting but the Queen found him to be pretentious, nonetheless the painting showcased his skill, furthering his popularity
