A couple of years ago there were articles speculating that this daguerreotype might be Van Gogh. The information on the studio that was printed under the picture puts it where Van Gogh would have been at that time.
I think it could well be him. If you google his self portraits(there are several) most of them are that 3/4 pose. If I were to do a series of self portraits, I would have my picture taken. Drawing from a mirror is fine, but you get a different perspective from a picture.
