Most fashion plates feature one or two women, but sometimes we get children, and on rare occasions, a man. This child is probably a prop. It's hard to imagine any mama of the upper ranks taking her children to an adult evening entertainment. In many upper class households, children didn't have a great deal of contact with their parents. In some they had rather too much contact and were allowed to run wild, to the horror of guests.
Alert readers may spot similarities between the "cottage vest" of the opera dress and the evening spencer Isabella/Susan explained not too long ago.
