An exquisite quarter plate daguerreotype, by Charles Williamson of Brooklyn, features a young girl posed in a formal studio setting. The subject is adorned in a charming pink dress, hand-tinted with meticulous detail, emphasizing the delicate folds and textures of the fabric. The fine artistry of the tinting extends to her lace-trimmed socks and shoes, adding dimension and vibrancy to the image. The ornate gilt mat bears the photographer’s imprint, “Williamson, Brooklyn,” confirming the piece’s provenance. This portrait is an excellent example of mid-19th-century photographic artistry, combining technical skill with aesthetic refinement.
