This unidentified German boy and the image is undated. All that we know is that the portrait was taken in The only thing we know for sure is that the portrait was taken in Zwickau. The cap and book sarchel, bag suggest that this is a school outfit. We suspect that this was the boy's first day at school--even thugh he does not have the gift cone boys usually received on their first day of school. An interesting aspect of this portrait is that the boy had long curls. They look like natural curls. Most boys had their hair cut short for school, especially German boys. This boy seems to have naturally curly hair. He wears a military cap with his knickers suit.
