An exquisite pair of daguerreotypes featuring beautifully hand-tinted portraits of young children, produced by the renowned Beard’s Photographic Institutions. These meticulously crafted images represent the height of 19th-century portrait photography, combining delicate artistry with remarkable clarity.
The sixth plate features two children seated side by side in ornately carved chairs. The girl on the left wears a dark dress accented with white trim, her dress tinted with soft hues and her cheeks blushed for a lifelike appearance. A floral arrangement in her lap has been delicately hand-tinted with red and green. The boy beside her, wearing a dark tunic with contrasting white trim and a sash, gazes directly at the camera with a calm, composed demeanor. The soft, pastel backdrop enhances the portrait’s warmth and elegance.
The ninth plate features a single child, likely the same young girl from the sixth plate, is seated with a floral arrangement. Her dress is tinted with subtle hues, and her cheeks are delicately blushed. The flowers in her lap feature vibrant red and green tones, providing a striking focal point. The oval gold mat frames the portrait beautifully, highlighting the careful composition and artistic enhancement.
