Her Boy, Gaudin 1/6th-Plate Daguerroetype, Circa 1852

The plate bears the hallmark in the upper right corner of the Gaudin brothers: a rosette, lamb (Agnus Dei) between 2 crescent moons.
If there are any medical professionals viewing this, does it appear to you as if the mother might have something wrong with one eye? The eye on the left, as we view her, seems clouded. I'm not sure of this is a cataract or merely reflection of the photographer's light source.
Additionally, I feel confident that this woman is mourning. Her monotone clothing, not even broken by a white collar, makes this almost certain.
