A sixth-plate daguerreotype of a man holding a concertina, showcasing both his musical talent and refined style. The sitter, dressed in a well-fitted jacket, sports an oversized bow tie, adding a distinctive flair to his appearance. His confident yet relaxed expression reflects the personality of a musician engaged with his art.

The concertina, held prominently in the portrait, highlights the cultural importance of music during the 19th century.
