A beautifully hand-tinted sixth plate daguerreotype featuring a young child standing beside a table draped with an ornate patterned cloth. The child is dressed in a plaid garment typical of the mid-19th century, complete with ruffled pantaloons and polished shoes. The hand-coloring adds delicate touches, with the child’s rosy cheeks, the vibrant pink tablecloth, and subtle blue hues enhancing the visual charm of the portrait. A straw hat rests atop the table, adding an element of personality and a playful nod to the child’s innocence.
