- Lot Description
A large French daguerreotype from 1844 offers an intimate portrayal of three sisters, showcasing the delicate art of early photography. The image, likely captured by a skilled Parisian photographer, features the sisters standing closely together, their expressions reflecting a blend of elegance and poise typical of the era. The middle sister, holding hands with one of her siblings, exudes a serene confidence, while the other two sisters provide a protective and supportive presence.
The daguerreotype's clarity and composition are remarkable, capturing intricate details such as the fabric patterns of the sisters' dresses and the careful arrangement of their hair. The image is presented in a mount that is consistent with the period, further enhancing its historical value.
A label with the name "Camille Duchene" is affixed, suggesting a personal connection or attribution, which adds a layer of intrigue and potential for further research into the subjects' identities and family history.Image measures 4 3/8" x 6", total with mat 6 1/2" x 8 1/4"
