Here we have a portrait from a German family of the 1860s. The portrait was taken in Rinteln or Bad Nenndorf which are located rather close to each other. The little girl's name was Marie. The boy is August who sadly died at the young age of 9 years due to thyphus. Unfortunately we do not know their family name. Father wears a frock coat with a low-cut vest. Mothers wears a voluminous dark dress. Perhaos she is in mourning. Note the center-part hair cut. The boy wears hair combed over his ears. The close-cropped hair was not yet very common. The boy wears a belted tunic with just a hint of a collar showing. I'm not sure what color this may have been. The little girl wears checkered dress with a dark pinafore, but I'm not sure what color.
