Description: | Comparison of this portrait with nineteenth-century images of children's costumes indicate that this little boy was probably painted during the Romantic period. Along with the black velvet coat shown and the white shirt, he would have worn long trousers (boys at the time would not have worn breeches). This made a change from the children's outfits adopted during the Empire, which were much simpler and practical. | Subjects: | portrait (unidentified boy) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8930... | Go to resource |
