yeoldefashion: A little girl and a young woman, probably her older sister judging by the red hair, wait by an iron fence in Édouard Manet’s 1872-73 paintingThe Railway. Little girl’s clothing in the early 1870s was often sleeveless and usually had very low cut necklines, sometimes even off the shoulder completely.
