This anonymous daguerreotype portrait, "Untitled (Portrait of a Man)," is a striking example of early photographic portraiture. Created between 1839 and 1860, the image captures the sitter's solemn gaze and meticulously detailed attire, highlighting the precision and novelty of the daguerreotype process. The image is housed in a gilded frame, typical of the era, and is currently part of the The Art Institute of Chicago collection.
