Figure 1.-- Here we have a formal portrait of a French family. We know virtually nothing about the family at this time. The small size of the family is notable. The parents are dressed casually. Their little boy Michele who is 4 years old is dressed in a classic romper suit with with baloon sleeves. The suits also had back tieing bows, but you can't see it in the portrait. Michel's romper suit looks to be a patterened one.
