This cabinet card portrait shows the three Canepa children. They look to br about 2-7 years old. You in images like this we are left to guess ewho is who. We suspected looking at the hair style of the middle child that he was a boy. These top curls were a boy's hair style. In this case we do not have to guess necause we have the names of ther children, Elvira Canepa (Veta), Claude Canepa, and Beatrice Canepa (or Bea). The plaid dress and collar is another clue. We are not sure how to date the potrtait. We would guess the 1880s. The studio was W.W. Foster in Richmond, Virginia.
