A tender and beautifully composed sixth plate daguerreotype featuring a young barefooted child seated on an ornately carved chair. The child gazes solemnly at the camera, their hands resting delicately on their lap, capturing a timeless moment of innocence. The carefully posed image showcases the rich detail of the child’s clothing, while the bare feet add a natural, unguarded quality to the portrait. The photograph is housed in a classic Boston School case, known for its craftsmanship and design, complete with a gold-toned oval mat and plush red velvet lining that enhances the overall presentation.
