Unknown English Portrait: The Girls



Figure 1.--This is a detail from a unidentified portrait of four brothers anbd sisters, probably in the 1810s-20s. The children all wear regency dresses. We believe the two older children with necklasses were girls.

Notice that the two of oldest children wear white dresses and that they have both probably have balloon sleeves, only we can only see those of the girls in front. Also they have necklasses. We believe that they are girls. Also their hair is not omly slightly longer than the other two children, but appears to have been done with clearly observable curls. The features of these two children also appear girlish.
