1.
A gentleman.
A well to do merchant.
Circia 1630's
At Charles II's return to England the plain dress of the Puritans gave way to colour and lace. The waistlines dropped, bosoms were in and so were wigs for men and gorgeous fabrics.

His Lady
As the century went on women's corsets became stiffer and longer in front and lacy 'fontages' rose from their caps like small towers.
Men continued to glow with gold braid and feathered hats on top of longer and longer wigs.
3.
A young girl.
4.
A noblewoman in riding costume.
William III closed the century, but Queen Anne took the Stuart dynasty into the next, for fourteen more years.
