A sixth plate daguerreotype depicting a seated gentleman holding a clarinet, likely from the mid-19th century. The subject is impeccably dressed in formal attire, featuring a dark jacket, vest, and bow tie, and gazes intently at the camera with a calm yet confident expression. His clarinet, positioned prominently in his right hand, highlights the sitter’s connection to music, suggesting he may have been a professional musician or music enthusiast.
