A quarter plate daguerreotype of a young girl seated on a draped table, with her feet resting on an ornate posing chair. The girl's plaid dress and detailed surroundings add a captivating aesthetic. The back of the case is inscribed in pencil: "Taken by Whipple & Black, May 4, 1859 Catherine A. Councue (?)", providing historical context and potential provenance. The image is housed in a leather push-button case that remains in excellent condition.
