Sixth plate daguerreotype studio portrait of a young blonde girl, seated and facing the camera with a direct, composed expression. She wears a dark dress with a wide neckline and short sleeves, her light hair parted at the center and styled with ribbons at the sides. The image is housed behind glass with a scalloped gilt brass mat, typical of mid-19th century daguerreian presentation. The photographic process is daguerreotype on a silvered copper plate, likely dating to the early to mid 1850s based on dress, hairstyle, and mat style.

The portrait reflects conventional studio practice for child sitters of the period, emphasizing formality and stillness. The plain backdrop and chair support focus attention on the sitter’s face and posture rather than narrative setting.

The daguerreotype is presented in a hinged, embossed leather case with a red velvet interior pad on the opposing side. No photographer’s imprint or identifying text is visible on the mat, plate, or case.
