Portraits of a Girl and a Boy

McClees & Germon

National Gallery of Art

The image is a diptych featuring two children. The left side shows a young child seated in a wicker chair, with their full body visible. They have round facial features, softly curving hair, and are wearing a patterned dress. The right side features another child standing beside a small table draped with an ornate cloth, with a straw hat featuring a ribbon detail placed on top. This child's full body is also visible, and they have similar facial features and hairstyle to the seated child. The child is dressed in a buttoned suit with a white collar. Both photos have a textured, dark background and are presented in matching decorative frames with gold accents, mounted together within a reddish-brown case.
