Title
English: Photography of a young girl with portrait of George Washington.
Français : Photographie d'une jeune fille avec le portrait de George Washington.
Description
English: This mesmerizing portrait would also seem to be an allegory of allegiance, in which the young girl directs the viewer’s attention back to the iconic painting of George Washington. Recent scholarship suggests that this daguerreotype is actually a copy of another daguerreotype, adding further to the complex play of gazes, but as yet the subject and exact meaning of this enigmatic image are not known.
Français : Ce portrait envoûtant semble également être une allégorie d'allégeance, dans laquelle la jeune fille dirige l'attention du spectateur vers le tableau symbolique de George Washington. Les études récentes suggèrent que ce daguerreotype est en fait une copie d'un autre daguerreotype, ajoutant encore au jeu complexe des regards fixes, mais jusqu'ici le sens et l'objet exact de cette image énigmatique ne sont pas connus.

Notes The painting is Gilbert Stuart's unfinished life portrait of George Washington (1796), which was acquired by the Boston Athenaeeum in 1831. Southworth & Hawes apparently copied the painting in 1853 (cat nos. 1906-11), either at the Athenaeum or in their studio, as they exhibited their daguerreotype copy between 1853 and 1857.
