This portrait features a beautifully dressed cute child. The child appears to be a girl, but this is only a guess. The child’s fancy outfit includes a lace collar and a pretty cap. She is holding a branch with only a single leaf. The studio that photographed this child is Pearce & Smith of London, England.

Hi, this is a darling picture, but the child is most likely a boy – he is wearing boys’ clothing of the period, known as the ‘Fauntleroy suit.’
