Sixth Plate

A BLONDE BOY! Nothing on the surface of the lad?s resealed sixth plate deterred me from quickly purchasing his fine portrait. There is oxidation around the sitter and specks on the silver that quickly disappear when you study the boy?s blue eyes and handsome face. Of course, your own vision might drift slightly while you can?t help looking at that spotted tie he wore. The leafy impression on his vest was quite impressive too. Both the tonality and contrast were excellent. The cover of the leather case has disappeared.
