- Lot Description
A finely crafted tinted stereoview daguerreotype features a distinguished man seated at a table, his hand resting near a glass of water. The man's composed expression and formal attire, including a black coat and cravat, suggest a portrait of a person of some importance or standing in society. The glass of water and accompanying items on the table add an intriguing domestic element to the composition.
The hand-tinting brings subtle color to the scene, enhancing the lifelike quality of the image, a hallmark of the daguerreotype process. The stereo effect provides a striking depth, allowing the viewer to engage with the portrait in a more immersive way.
The daguerreotype is in very good condition, with well-preserved detail and minimal tarnishing. The stereo effect remains sharp, offering a clear and defined three-dimensional perspective. The case and matting exhibit only minor wear, indicative of the age of the piece but not detracting from its overall presentation. - Provenance
