A sixth plate daguerreotype featuring a striking portrait of a young mixed-race girl. The girl is dressed in a beautifully detailed dress, with wide sleeves and lace accents, indicative of mid-19th century fashion. She wears a choker necklace with a prominent brooch, adding to her elegant appearance. Her hair is styled neatly, parted in the center and tied back, emphasizing her delicate features.

The young girl gazes directly at the camera with a serene expression, her large, expressive eyes drawing the viewer in. The image is carefully composed, with her right arm resting on a table adorned with a patterned cloth, providing a sense of formality and grace to the portrait. The lighting and focus are expertly handled, highlighting the girl's facial features and the textures of her clothing.
