Tinted Darling
SOLD March 2007 |
English quarter plate ambrotype of a sweet girl with long hair, with applied hand coloring. Housed in a full red-leather case with split spine and considerable loss of the leather due to bug damage.
The sitter's dress (and eyes) are blue, red has been applied to the table cloth and to give a blush to her cheeks, and her hair seems to be enhanced with yellow or brown. She appears to pirouette towards us on one leg.
