EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Portrait of a Laundress". Created by an unknown French maker between 1848 and 1850, this daguerreotype is hand-colored, adding depth and vibrancy to the image. The subject of the portrait is a laundress, her identity forever preserved in this delicate photograph. Her expression exudes strength and resilience, hinting at the challenges she may have faced in her daily life. The artist skillfully captures every detail with precision, from the intricate folds of her clothing to the subtle lines on her face. Measuring 13.5 x 10 cm (5 5/16 x 3 15/16 in. ), this image is presented on a crudely cut-down whole plate that has been shaped into an oval form measuring approximately 15.7 x 11.9 cm (6 3/16 x 4 11/16 in. ). The overall size of the object itself is slightly larger at around 16.8 x13.3 cm (6 5/8 x5¼in. ). This particular artwork from Liszt Collection offers us a glimpse into history through its unique combination of photography and hand coloring techniques prevalent during that era
