A woman in a lace cap reads her bible through her spectacles as she knits. Lots of fine detail of the lace, the yarn, the printed text. But it's her face and the composition that make the image so appealing. 1/6 plate daguerreotype in stippled arch-top mat, full case with original spine. Very light wispy wipes in the upper right curve of the arch.
