Elegant stereo daguerreotype depicting a confident nude woman holding a sheer veil above her head, with a slight, knowing smile and direct gaze toward the viewer. The composition presents a classical pose echoing academic studio art of the period, with the veil providing a symbolic nod to modesty while still revealing the full figure. Subtle hand-coloring adds warmth to the cheeks and natural tones to the skin, enhancing the realism and intimacy of the image. The model wears drop earrings, lending a note of refinement to the otherwise unclothed figure.

Framed within a striking black and gold geometric border, the image is preserved under glass in its original stereo mount, designed for viewing in three dimensions. This work likely dates to the 1850s–1860s and was probably produced in France, where stereo daguerreotypes of artistic nudes were created both for private collectors and international exhibitions.
