Sixth plate daguerreotype studio portrait depicting a young woman wearing a bonnet and a dark cloak or shawl, posed seated and facing the camera. The image is housed in a hinged case with a gilt oval mat. The photographic process is daguerreotype, and the style of dress and matting suggests a mid-19th century date, likely 1840s to early 1850s. No photographer’s imprint or identifying text is visible.

The subject’s bonnet, tied with ribbon, and her layered outer garment are consistent with period women’s attire intended for formal portrait sittings. The restrained studio setting and direct pose reflect common daguerreotype portrait conventions of the era.

The daguerreotype is presented in a leather-covered case with a red fabric pad on the opposing interior and an embossed exterior featuring a bird and grapevine motif. The gilt mat has an oval opening with decorative borders. No handwriting or labels are present on the case or interior.
