Early Victorian Hans

Description

My first historically accurate Disney villain painting EVER! Woo! Behold Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, aka "Prince Tight Pants." It was pretty easy to figure his ball/coronation outfit out, with the help of the ever helpful fripperiesandfobs (who suggested an outfit inspired by Prince Albert's wedding costume circa 1840, and the white military outfit worn by a young Prince Franz Joseph of Austria). For all my issues with Frozen, for the most part I like the design of Hans; his costumes are a clever blend of Regency and early Victorian styles.

This took surprisingly long to do, but I suppose that's not surprising given that white is hard to paint and tight breeches are tricky. For the exact fit of the breeches, I referred to various Regency fashion plates, as Victorian plates tended to be much... vaguer, and far more airbrushed... about how men's clothes fit.

Good grief that is a most eminently punchable: I’m astonished the Southern Isles has yet to invent the guillotine, if this is a true representative of their Royal Family!
