Antique CDV Baby Infant Sitting in White Gown Dress Studio Portrait

This antique CDV captures a solemn studio portrait of a young infant posed mid-frame. The baby is captured sitting upright, draped in a voluminous, intricately detailed white gown that spills across the photographer’s prop chair, creating a stark contrast against the muted Victorian backdrop.

The delicate lace and fabric of the dress showcase the formal aesthetic of mid-to-late 19th-century photography. Collectors will value this piece for its clear composition and the charming, stoic expression of the child. It is a quintessential example of early studio portraiture.

This rare antique CDV offers a poignant glimpse into the life of an infant from a bygone era.
