We also note a wonderful country scene with a mother anf her children. He daughter swears a pinafore, very common at the time. The boys, however, seem to be wearing caps and tunics which seemed influenced by folk costume. I do not know what the names for these garments were. It is interesting that the boys wear these folk -like costumes while mother and her daughter do not. In much of Euroope, it was more common for women and girls to wear folk costmes than boys. Here an exception may be Germany. One of the boys is barefoot while the other wears stripped long stockings and unusually short short pants for the timne. I'm not sure when the paintting was done, but I would guess the 1890s.
Burkhard Riemschneider, 1993.
