A Man and Two Boys in the Park

Object/Artifact

The man shows the back of a black frock coat with discreet gray and black checked pantaloons. The older boy wears a black spencer with a pointed waist, light gray pegged pantaloons and a red and yellow little cravat. The younger one is still in skirts, a dark blue dress with pleated frill or fringe edging defining a pointed yoke; a wide straight neckline, buttons down the front of the skirt, and elbow length sleeves, this worn over a regular white shirt. Matching hip length cape and peaked cap. Blue bootees and white socks.
