$175.00
This antique image is a 19th-century cased photograph, likely a daguerreotype, ambrotype, or tintype, dating approximately to the 1850s or 1860s.
Description of the Subject;
The photograph is a portrait of a beautiful young woman, posed seated in a studio setting.
• Attire: She is wearing a dark-colored, possibly black and white, dress with a patterned bodice and a voluminous skirt, a style characteristic of the crinoline era. The dress features wide pagoda-style sleeves, and it appears she is wearing white undersleeves (engageantes) or cuffs that are visible at her wrists. A prominent white collar, possibly lace, is visible at the neckline.
• Accessories: The woman accessorizes with large hoop earrings and a dark choker-style necklace with a circular pendant. She appears to be wearing rings on her left hand.
• Hairstyle: Her hair is parted in the middle and appears to be smoothed down over her ears, gathered at the back of her neck, a common hairstyle of the era.
• Pose and Expression: She is seated with her hands clasped in her lap, presenting a formal and demure studio portrait pose.
Description of the Casing;
The image is housed in a protective, hinged case with an ornate brass mat and a cover glass, typical for early photographic processes like the daguerreotype or ambrotype. The exterior of the case has a dark, possibly leather or thermoplastic, finish with visible wear, and the interior likely features a velvet lining. The brass mat around the circular image opening has a decorative, textured pattern.
Technical Aspects;
The photograph itself is a direct positive image on either a metal or glass plate, sealed behind glass to protect its fragile surface. The image quality is highly detailed, characteristic of these early photographic methods.
