DescriptionImage of young man seated in an upholstered chair. His hair is parted on the side and swept across his forehead. He is somewhat slumped over in the chair, and he is wearing a dark vest with a polka-dot shirt and bow tie. His hands are in his lap and with one hand he holds a flower, a pansy, which has been hand colored yellow and purple. This half plate daguerreotype is housed in a passe-partout style mount with reverse painted cover glass and decorative green paper backing.ProvenanceHall Family Foundation, Kansas City, MO, 2019;
