This portrait of an ex-boyfriend of Jane Austen's is thought to be the man who inspired Pride and Prejudice's Mr. Darcy—the original Mr. Big. His name was Thomas Langlois Lefroy. (Is that a powdered wig in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?) Click to enlarge—the original portrait is only three inches. [Daily Mail]
