DescriptionPortrait painting of an unknown boy, possibly a member of the Terry family, by an unknown artist. The boy is young, perhaps four years old, and has blond hair styled in ringlets next to his face. He is wearing a red and black striped bolero jacket that is tied at the throat and open at the waist, and a matching skirt. A white long-sleeved shirt and white pantalettes are visible under the suit. He is wearing black shoes with a strap tied in a bow around the ankle. He is standing next to a table covered in a red tablecloth, and on what appears to be a rug with a floral pattern consisting of large cabbage rose-style flowers.
