Sixth plate daguerreotype of a young girl seated in a studio chair, holding a small basket in her lap. The image features applied hand-coloring, with delicate tinting to the dress and basket contents, likely suggesting flowers. She wears a patterned dress with puffed sleeves and a wide neckline, accented with light blue tinting at the sleeves and bodice, while subtle red highlights appear within the basket.

Her expression is direct and serious, typical of the period, with her posture upright and hands positioned to support the basket as a central prop. The use of the basket adds a narrative element to the otherwise formal portrait. Her hair is parted and styled in soft curls at the sides.

The image is housed behind a gilt brass oval mat within a leather case. The portrait stands as a good example of hand-tinted child daguerotypes from the mid-19th century.
