A sixth plate daguerreotype captures a woman elegantly playing the piano with the woman's hands gracefully positioned over the piano keys, adding a sense of movement and life to the portrait. Her attire, including a delicate veil draped over her head, adds to the possibility that this image commemorates a special occasion, such as her wedding.

The daguerreotype is housed in a case manufactured by William Shew of Boston, a notable maker of fine photographic cases during the 19th century.
