This appears to be a French painting, but there is absolutely no information connected with the painting. It must hve been painted in the 19th century, but I am not sure just when. Probably the mid-19th century. We do not know who the child was or the name of the artist. It looks to us like a portrait commissioned by a moderately successful, but not rich family. The artist seems competent, but clearly not a master painter. The dealer handling this portrait was sure the child was a boy. We are not positive, but believe that he is probably correct. Difficult to tell though. I'm not sure about the hair. He or she appear to be wearing a dress or sock with a wide collar. The hair is long, but does not seem to have been done in ringlets.
