This portrait is of brother and sister Rubie and Raymond Gaston. They lived on a farm located about 7 miles northwest of Cranfills Gap, Texas. The photo is undated, but it could have been taken in the late-1890s or early-1900s. The white whicker furniture was very popular at the turn of the 20th century, especially in the 1900s. Rubie is wearing a white dress and Raymond a sailor suit. Notioce how the dickey matches the collar. We are not sure about the color. At the time footwear was not an essential item for a formal portrait as many pre-teen children went barefoot iun the South and rural areas. The children here look about 1-3 years old.
