A sixth plate daguerreotype features a finely detailed portrait of a woman identified as Jane Ramsdell. She is dressed in an elaborate, patterned dress and accessorized with a necklace, and her hair is styled in the distinctive "sausage curls" fashion, popular during the mid-19th century. The image captures the elegance and style of the period, with Jane Ramsdell sitting in a formal pose.

Beneath the daguerreotype is a small label with the name "Jane Ramsdell" and a preserved leaf, which was found in the back of the thermoplastic case. The inclusion of the leaf may suggest a personal connection or sentimental value, possibly indicating the image and leaf were kept together as a keepsake.
