Description

Photograph of two young boys, perhaps brothers, wearing matching knee-length dark dresses with plaid trim, white collars, white breeches, long white stockings, and black shoes with high instep and buckles. The younger boy is perhaps camera shy and has linked arms with the older boy. Both have dark hair, parted in the center. Each is holding an object (maybe a hat or a bag?) in their outside hand. They stand on a patterned carpet in front of a studio background of hills. The photographer has tinted their cheeks pink.
