FLOATING ON A CLOUD!

A pair of lovely young women are nicely rendered in a classic vignette style on an archivally sealed quarter plate portrait. Their dreamlike presentation surpassed most of the efforts done in this elegant style. The elevation of the ladies was amazingly effective to the point upon opening their adequately repaired leather case the viewer instantly wonders what keeps them inside the oval bass mat. The dag has great contrast and reflected depth. Rouge was painted on their cheeks and lips. There is one speck on the freckled faced woman’s throat. Her elongated earrings were two sets of matched pearls. If you never thought that a daguerreotype could be mesmerizing, I think the next owner will agree these gals more then meet that expectation! The image comes in a case with a worn spine.
