A beautiful sixth-plate daguerreotype of a woman holding a guitar, offering a rare glimpse into the musical culture and personal leisure activities of the 19th century. The subject, dressed elegantly in a long-sleeved gown with a lace collar, gazes confidently at the camera, exuding both poise and a sense of individuality. The guitar, resting gently in her hands, reflects her connection to music, adding a layer of artistic expression to the portrait. The image is housed in its original case.
