The sitter is named in the scratched inscription on the back of this whole-plate daguerreotype, which identifies him as Francis Brockholst Cutting (1804-1870), a New York lawyer. He is shown seated in a chair, turned three-quarters to the left and framed from roughly the knees up. The plate was produced in Mathew Brady's studio, which made many portraits of prominent Americans during the 1850s. Daguerreotypes like this one have a mirror-bright silver surface, so the image appears to shift as the viewer changes the angle.
