Sixth Plate

WHO TRIMMED HER BROWS? Darn if this youthful lass didn’t have the best hair above her blue eyes thing going on in any retaped sixth plate dag that I have every seen. Meticulousness was the watchword for the gal’s appearance when she visited a local gallery for her likeness. Only the gold that had been applied to her ring has gone a bit wonky over time. The pale tinting on her face and hands remains. Patina hugs the outline of that brass mat. There is a slight crimp in the surface above the woman’s arm that rested upon a book. I can also identify a few faint mold mites. Someone used Scotch Tape very cleverly to make a hinge for her leather case.
