Untitled [portrait of two seated gentlemen] c. 1844 - 1852

"Untitled [portrait of two seated gentlemen]" is a daguerreotype created by Jeremiah Gurney sometime between 1844 and 1852. The image depicts two men in formal attire, seated side-by-side. The photograph's intimate scale and the subjects' direct gazes, captured in the mid-19th century, highlight Gurney's expertise in portraiture. This daguerreotype is a fascinating example of early photographic practice and offers insight into the lives and clothing styles of the time. The Minneapolis Institute of Art houses this miniature work of art.
