A beautifully preserved sixth-plate daguerreotype depicting a mother wearing glasses and her child, who is dressed in a striking red dress. The image captures the tender connection between the two, with the mother's calm and composed expression complemented by the child's innocent gaze. The red dress of the child has been meticulously hand-tinted, adding a vibrant touch to the composition.
