"Portrait of Woman and Child" is a daguerreotype created by French artist Jean-Baptiste Frénet in 1855. The image depicts a woman and a child, possibly mother and daughter, with the woman looking off to the side and the child holding her hand. The faded image is characteristic of the daguerreotype process, a revolutionary photographic technique developed in the early 19th century, creating an intimate and nostalgic feel. The irregular shape and slightly faded image add to the historic charm of this 19th-century photograph.
