A young woman stands with her back to us in a bare room, in a pale dress with her hair pinned up, a straw hat held loosely at her side, while light from the left softens every edge and casts her shadow on the wall. The tonal delicacy comes from Anderson's own technique of infrared film and special printing papers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is housed in an ornate antiqued gold and bronze frame with layered moulding and bead detailing, over a distressed cream mat, under glass. The torn and weathered mat gives the piece a real visual tension, a polished frame around a delicate figure and timeworn paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe printed credit line in the lower margin reads Girl With A Hat, silver image photograph, Julie Anderson, copyright 1983, with SAINT LOUIS set below in large capitals.

A 1985 St. Louis newspaper profile described \u003cem\u003eGirl With A Hat\u003c\/em\u003e as the image for which she was known internationally and confirmed that it was the St. Louis Ballet's benefit poster. In 1983 she also exhibited hand-painted photographs in University City. A further label is partly hidden beneath the backing and has not yet been read.

The figure is elegant without being decorative in the obvious sense, a dancer caught between performances, and the aged presentation feels like something salvaged from an old theatre corridor. It belongs above a console, in a bedroom or dressing room, in a studio or on a gallery wall where scale and mood matter. The appeal is in the contrast: softness against wear, performance against stillness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viridian Eclection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47750617530473,"sku":"VE-1178","price":559.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/0093\/9369\/files\/DSC01207.jpg?v=1783156140"}],"url":"https:\/\/viridianeclection.com\/collections\/julie-anderson.oembed","provider":"Viridian Eclection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
