Moses Haugton & Jane Austen - November 23, 2024
“In the former were many good paintings; but Elizabeth knew nothing of the art; and from such as had been already visible below, she had willingly turned to look at some drawings of Miss Darcy’s, in crayons, whose subjects were usually more interesting, and also more intelligible.” ~ Pride and Prejudice
Join us on Saturday, November 23rd, where Director-Curator, Sarah Joyce of the New Media Gallery in New Westminster will explore how Jane Austen’s literary world intersected with the world of Moses Haughton, Regency portrait painter.
We will also have some fun activities!
