A stunning half plate daguerreotype featuring a poised and elegant woman seated gracefully, likely on an iron bench, with her hands gently clasped in her lap. Her serene expression, bonnet, and dark draped cloak highlight her modest yet refined style, evocative of the mid-19th century. The subtle backdrop with floral embellishments complements her dignified presence, adding a soft elegance to the overall composition. The image is housed in a thermoplastic case, adorned with an elaborate design featuring a central pastoral scene of figures on horseback beneath a tree, surrounded by ornate scrollwork and floral patterns. Such cases were cherished for their durability and beauty, making them prized among collectors of early photography.
