Fther's suit jacket has very high-set lapels. The boys look to be about 5-9 years old. The younger boy wears a rather loud kilt suit eith a pin-on lace coolar. Generally these outfits were more muted. His older brother wears a very plain collar-buttoning suit. This leads us to believe that the portrait was takem in the early-1880s before the Fauntleroy craze which began in 1885.
