This hand-colored portrait features a woman, likely the mother, seated and dressed in dark, modest Victorian attire with a high neckline and lace collar, suggesting mid-19th-century fashion. Her expression is solemn, typical of portraits from the period. Beside her stands a young girl with tightly parted hair and a checked dress, holding a slightly awkward pose, likely due to the long exposure times of early photography. Dimensions: 21” H x 16.25” 

Condition

Good for antique age and use with some signs of wear. There are several tears in the paper on the right side. See photos for more details.
