This 1953 portrait shows an Italian boy and his sister in their First Communion outfits about 1953. The girl wears a long white dress styled like a wedding dress with a long veil. The boy wears a light-colored short pants suit with white ankle socks. He has an open colared shirt which I think he wears with an ascot, althought it is diificult to tell. He also wears white gloves. The boy has a small sleeve ribbon. The children look to be from a rural part of Italy.
