c. Visiting Season
Records from the promenade districts depict formal calling hours during which residents visited appointed households for conversation and refreshments. It is believed that hosts were expected to maintain refined dress and receive guests according to established etiquette.
The elaborate collar and jewellery suggest the subject presided over such gatherings and may have been a central figure in neighbourhood social life.
