The composition highlights the intricate lace details of the period clothing, typical of mid-19th-century portraiture. Collectors of early photography will appreciate this charming study of childhood, which serves as a poignant window into the domestic life and fashion of the era.

A truly evocative antique portrait of a baby in a white bonnet.
