Sixth plate daguerreotype of a young woman seated in a studio setting, presented with applied blue hand-coloring that vividly highlights her attire. She wears a bright blue dress with a fitted bodice and short sleeves, accented by a pink ribbon or cravat at the neck, the color carefully applied to create contrast against the otherwise monochrome plate. Her hair is parted at the center and drawn back smoothly, a typical mid-19th century style.

She rests one arm on a small table covered with a patterned cloth, while the other hand holds a slender object, possibly a small case or needlework implement, adding a subtle personal element to the composition. Her direct, composed gaze and upright posture reflect the formal conventions of the daguerreian studio.

The image is housed behind a decorative gilt brass mat with a distinctive scalloped opening, enhancing the presentation. The hand-applied color remains strong and well-preserved, making this an especially attractive example of early tinted daguerreotype portraiture.
