The woman looks yonder in contemplation, with her hands clasped. Note the gold-tinged brown furniture and the blue drapes.

SIZE. Although collectors give leeway to slightly off-size whole/full plates in the tintype format, this measures in at approximately 8 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches (which is true whole/full plate size).

CONDITION. No bends. White spot at upper right corner (I’m not convinced it’s not the artist’s mark). Vertical scratch along upper left edge. Very good condition overall.

APPEARANCE. Wonderful color scheme. Powerful portrait.
