Prior to the 1780s boys had been attired in tailcoats and breeches in imitation of those worn by men. The last two decades of the 18th century saw the introduction of the infinitely more practical and comfortable skeleton suit, typically composed of a jacket or shirt and long trousers which buttoned together as here. This suit of cool linen is finer and less structured than the formal suits generally seen in family portraits, and was likely made for hot summer days, with the comfort of the child in mind, though perhaps not intended for boisterous play. Children's, and particularly boys', clothing is incredibly scarce, and the survival of a cream lightweight skeleton suit in such good condition is highly unusual.
