DescriptionImage of a young woman with hand-colored rosy cheeks holding a bellows-driven instrument with a keyboard-like device on one side. She is wearing an off-the-shoulder dress with a necklace and brooch. Her hair is parted on the side, pulled back, and looped over her ears. This sixth plate cased daguerreotype is housed in a brass mat inside of a leather-covered case with a red velvet embossed liner. The case is adorned with a basket of flowers on the recto and verso.ProvenanceHall Family Foundation, Kansas City, MO, 2019;
