He sits astradle an outdoors lounge of some kind with his legs dangling. Mark's sailor suit has knee pantsas was common for boy's his age. The V collar is done in alight color, probably light blue. His sailor scarve looks to be the sam light color. He has a striped dicky. The wide stripes are differentbthan the oines we have usually noted. More interestingly there appears to be some other kind of collar just above the dickey. He wears long black stockings even though it is still summer time. The clasp of his hose supporter is visible on his left leg. Mark is holding some kind of stick in his right hand, but I can't quite make out what it is. His hair is cut short. Thy look like bangs which he is begining to turn into a center part.
