A exquisite tinted stereoview daguerreotype, attributed to the renowned photographer Antoine Claudet, captures a refined portrait of a seated woman dressed in elegant 19th-century attire. The image highlights the sitter's sophisticated style, with her dark, elaborately adorned gown, jewelry, and delicate lace accents. A bouquet of flowers on a small side table adds a charming touch, complementing the serene and composed demeanor of the subject.

The stereoscopic format of this daguerreotype enhances the depth and realism of the image, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate details of the woman's dress and surroundings. Claudet's expertise in capturing such moments with remarkable clarity and artistry is evident in this piece, making it a fine example of mid-19th century portrait photography.

Condition: The daguerreotype is in good condition in a case with a torn flap, with the images retaining their clarity and richness of detail. Some minor tarnishing and wear are present, as expected with pieces of this age, but they do not detract from the overall visual impact. The tinting, particularly on the woman's face and attire, remains vivid, enhancing the lifelike quality of the portrait.
