DETERMINED BUT WEARY GOLD MINER IN RED SHIRT
DAGUERREOTYPE $4000. USD
Portrait of a young man who looks weary yet determined. He has slicked back hair and is clean shaven. His face has been hand-colored. We can see his Adam's apple. He wears a miner's shirt of coarse fabric that ripples down his chest.
SIZE. Sixth plate.
HOUSING. Full case.
CONDITION. Modern seals (not by us). Mold spiders at 9:00 and 11:00 and just off his shoulder at left. Otherwise, very good.
APPEARANCE. Bright image. Sharp. The coloring is a big plus. Strong and nuanced portrait.
