We do not know much about how Franz Josef was dressed as a boy. Our information is limited to availble images and we have been able to find very few. As a little boy he seems to have worn dresses. Here we see him in 1832. He would have been about 2-3 years old. The portrait was painted by Ferdinand Georg Waldmueller. He wears a long white dress with a large white collar. At age 18 we note him wearing an elaborate military uniform. This would have been made about 1848 when he became emperor as a young man.
