Here we have a watercolor. The boy is unidentified and we have no idea who the artist was. It is undated, but we would guess it was painted during the 1860s. The puffslleves under the sleeves of the dress were a popular style in the 1850s and 60s. The boy is pictured with his drum wearing a blue dress. The dress has black stripe detailong on the long sleeves and repeated on the front of the skirt. The boy has pantalettes and short socks. His hair is down to his ears.
