| D09-175. COQUETTISH! Sophisticated illumination from a skylight and a very unusual pose for such an adorable little girl in her own dreamlike world should instantly attract any collector of fine daguerreotypes. If that isn't enough look into her clear beckoning eyes! Please buy me from Mr. Waters she seems to be saying without moving a muscle! What a sensational artistic example that does have blobs of patina above her pretty face. Tinting was added to her cheeks and lips while the tablecloth also received an artist's brush. The light brown specks nearest to the lass are barely noticeable when her leather case with a missing spine is opened. The dark spot is a rogue tarnish blip. Honestly, my reproduction just doesn't convey the beauty and charm of the girl's resealed sixth plate. $675 |
