Portrait of a Young Lady - Vintage Tin Type

This was given to me as a gift from a co-worker - they have been in his family for years. I used Paint Shop Pro to adjust the contrast - thee original had darkened over time. It is a beautiful portrait. The young lady appears to be holding a glass and wearing a sash with a flower on it, with lace in her hair. Time period would be mid 1800s. The original may have been hand tinted- I am sure it was.
