Endearingly interested

By C.E. Ryan

Cabinet photo. Private Collection.

An endearing expression. Cabinet photo circa 1900. Private Collection.

This young man’s expression is so cute, cute, cute. And his bowtie is crooked. He wants to smile, yet he looks like he’s checking out something or is interested in the process.

This picture portrait came out wonderfully, didn’t it?

No name or photographer logo.

It’s funny how we see thing differently, I think he has a slight sneer almost as if he really can’t be bothered with this picture lark lol but I love the bow tie, I bet his Mother told him off afterwards

  lol! So maybe he was an insufferable brat! You’re right about the bowtie. He probably heard comments about it. :) I still think it’s a cute portrait!
