Quaker Matron - a photo on Flickriver

Quaker Matron

            Quarter plate daguerreotype of an older quaker matron that sits stoically for her portrait. Her round deep set eyes stare into the distance as she tells herself not to blink! Her hair is undoubtedly a wig or dyed. She wears the typical garb of a quaker of her day and age. Her lips are sealed tight and her left hand is posed in an awkward manner. Her other hand appears to have a wedding band but on her middle finger. I wonder what that's about? Perhaps its just the finger it fits on. She was probably a modest and respectable woman in her church and community. She has light wipes across the majority of her portrait but it is still sharp and enjoyable to look at.
