Striking stereo daguerreotype of a nude woman standing before a classically painted scenic backdrop, featuring a distant church, rolling hills, and a river valley. The model stands confidently beside a painted stone wall, one hand resting casually at her hip, the other supporting her weight against the barrier. Her skin is delicately highlighted in pale tones, with added hand-coloring in gold accents emphasizing her pose and drawing the viewer’s attention to her form. The rural background, combined with the confident stance of the subject and whimsical touches like the satyr-like jug at her feet, evokes an allegorical sensibility.

The glass is housed in its original mount, with rich brown backing and border tape. This stereo daguerreotype is believed to originate from mid-19th century France and was formerly in the celebrated Uwe Scheid Collection of erotic photography. The image offers an exceptional example of early nude study and composition, pairing photographic precision with painterly fantasy.
