Copy print of a circa 1850 daguerreotype of a fair-skinned African American woman, seated, holding the hand of a fair-skinned boy, probably her son, who stands next to her. In the right, the woman wears her hair with waves, parted in the middle, and tied behind her head and is attired in a long-sleeved, striped dress with white cuffs and a white collar or scarf tied around her neck. In the left, the boy wears his hair parted to the right with waves and is attired in a long-sleeved shirt with buttons down the center, a white collar or scarf around his neck, and light-colored pants.
