A young girl seated on a tasseled pillow, holding a small bell in one hand, is the subject of this sixth plate daguerreotype presented in its brass mat and leather case. No photographer's imprint is visible on the plate or case. No further identifying detail, such as a name or date, accompanies the sitting, and the format and hand tinting are consistent with daguerreotype production of the 1850s.

The girl wears an off the shoulder checked dress with full gathered sleeves and a wide gathered skirt pooling around her on the pillow seat. Her hair is centrally parted and drawn back close to her head, and her cheeks carry a light applied tint typical of the period. Both hands rest together at her waist, one gripping the small bell by its handle.

The pillow beneath her is edged with a decorative tassel, and the bell she holds appears to be a small brass or metal type with a turned handle. The case's interior pad and brass mat both display matching foliate ornamentation, indicating they were produced as a coordinated set typical of the period. No other props or setting details are visible in the plate.
