Daguerreotype of a head and shoulder length portrait of the Duke of Sutherland. He is sitting facing left, with his head turned slightly towards the camera. He is wearing dark clothes and has long sideburns. The daguerreotype is mounted in a dark red leather case with a red velvet interior. 'Beard Patented' is stamped below the image.

This is likely to be the daguerreotype acquired by Prince Albert from Beard's studio in March 1842, following a private view and demonstration of the medium by the photographer, as reported by The Bell's New Weekly Messenger, 27 March 1842.
