I saw many of the same people and objects you did in the picture. I thought it might be set in England. I thought their attire looked English. However, in the time period, you could be right. It might be Pennsylvania Dutch. Several of our classmates thought the gentleman was bringing some unpleasant news and detected a sense of nervousness. I thought he was coming to tutor the children. Our different perceptions are quite interesting.
We had the setting at around the same time period and location. We had very different interpretations on the age of the man. I thought he was 30-45... but if I try to imagine that he is 60, he really does look old. It even looks like he's leaning to one side as if he has a limp. Interesting.
