An exceptional sixth-plate daguerreotype of a poised and elegant woman, exquisitely tinted to accentuate her features and attire. Created by C.H. Williamson, a noted Brooklyn-based daguerreotypist, this portrait exemplifies the mastery of mid-19th-century photographic artistry.

The sitter is dressed in a finely detailed black dress with a lace collar, her hands gracefully posed, holding an object tinted in subtle colors. The image is highlighted by delicate hand-tinting that brings a lifelike vibrancy to the portrait, adding depth and refinement.

Housed in its original case with vibrant red velvet trim and gilt mat, the daguerreotype is in remarkable condition, showing only minor tarnishing and age-related wear that do not detract from its beauty. The mat is boldly stamped "C.H. Williamson, Brooklyn, NY," authenticating its origin and connecting it to the rich photographic history of Brooklyn.
