Striking, Painterly, Super Crisp Ninth Plate Tintype of Young Woman with Hat west German mid century Framed: 12 1/2" X 10Super crisp and what I would call super painterly, too how beautiful and moody and immediate feeling she is. And what a hat, and what a dress, and what a lovely rosy blush to those cheeks. I really love this one:) 2 1 4" x 1 5 8". A bit of corrosion along edges, mostly one spot along left edge, minor feels very crisp and sharp.
