DescriptionImage of a young woman with a parrot perched on the back of her chair. She's seated with her hands crossed in her lap. She's wearing an off-the-shoulder dress with lace trim on the sleeves and a cross necklace with earrings that are colored gold. This sixth plate cased daguerreotype is housed in a brass mat inside of a book-style leather case with "Keepsake" printed on spine and an embossed red velvet liner.
