Opie Taylor archetype

That's an all-American good-looking boy, with cute features, great hair, and large hands and feet for an age I assume to be somewhere around seven. Maybe he grew to be tall. I hope the look of consternation on his face is down to a combination of curiosity and squinting into the sun, rather than from cares too great for one so young to bear. And I hope he had enough warm clothing when the Michigan winter came.
