Sixth plate seated studio portrait tintype. N.p., n.d. Uncased with brass matting. 

 

Seated in view with his feet dangling is a young boy staring directly at the camera's lens with two rabbits seated upon his lap. He appears to be seated on a window seat with two shutters, but the image behind him is that of painted florals and scenery instead of a real-life outlook. He is dressed in boots and trousers with buttons on the calf and a Peter Pan collar jacket. Upon his head is a small, brimless cap with a button on top of it.  

 

The boy's expression is settled into an enigmatic smile, creating a captivating documentation of three companions.
