We are grateful to Dr. Claude Keisch, formerly National Gallery Berlin, for the expeert advice and the confirmation of authenticity on the basis of photographs.

The depicted children are presumably Menzel's niece Margarete and his nephew Otto (born 1860 and 1861 respectively), which he painted several times. [CB]
