Sixth plate daguerreotype double portrait of a young boy and girl, presented as a paired sibling set within a single hinged case. The boy is seated in a studio chair wearing a dark jacket, bow tie, and patterned trousers, posed with one arm resting on a table. The girl is shown seated separately, facing forward with hands folded in her lap, wearing a light-colored dress with a full skirt and lace-trimmed hem. Both images display applied hand tinting, most evident in the clothing and facial tones. The format, dress, and studio conventions suggest a mid-19th-century date.

Paired sibling daguerreotypes such as this were often commissioned to preserve likenesses at a specific moment in childhood, with separate plates housed together to emphasize familial connection while maintaining individual portraits. The careful posing and tinting indicate a formal studio sitting rather than a casual likeness.

The daguerreotypes are housed in a period hinged case with gilt brass mats of differing apertures, velvet linings, and an embossed leather exterior. No photographer’s imprint or handwritten identifications are visible within the case.
