Figure 1.--This American girl in the 1860s wears a bright purple dress with a kind of brown pinafore-like apron. We are not at all sure just what colored dress this girl would actually have worn. |

We notice a variety of colors in these tinted portraits. Some look garish and unrealistc with color just spread over a garment or textile. They seem brighter colors than children may have worn. Other portraits are much more carefully done and look realistic with the painting quite intricate. The colors in some of these tinted portrait look very plausible in these portraits.
