Early, Ultra Sharp Cased Tintype of Bored Looking, Finely Dressed Young Woman antique berlinwork my very favorite subjectUltra sharp and crystal clear with rich detail and tonality, this cased photo is I believe a tintype, under glass though it is sealed and so I haven't opened it. I just love her, looking bored and a bit dejected, but very pretty, and finely dressed, with cameo at her neck, black ribbons at her wrists, and a ring on her index figure. Feels like being 14 or 15 to me! With her elbow resting on a side table covered in floral fabric, and ruffles at the end
