A large-scale framed photographic work by Julie Anderson, titled Girl With A Hat, created for or associated with Saint Louis Ballet in 1983. The image presents a softly rendered female figure viewed from behind, standing in a quiet interior with a hat held at her side. Her form is atmospheric and restrained, blurred at the edges with the tonal delicacy of charcoal, pastel, and silver photographic process.
The composition carries the stillness of a dressing room, a stage entrance, or the suspended pause before performance. Its beauty is subtle, theatrical, and slightly ghostlike.
The piece is housed in an ornate antiqued gold and bronze frame with layered molding, bead detailing, and a distressed cream mat. The torn and weathered matting gives the work an arresting visual tension: polished frame, delicate figure, damaged paper, and an almost archival sense of time. It is not pristine. It is more interesting than pristine.
Condition & Provenance
Signed Julie Anderson in the lower right of the image. The printed lower margin identifies the work as “Girl With A Hat,” silver image photograph, Julie Anderson © 1983. The lower typography reads SAINT LOUIS, associating the piece with Saint Louis Ballet.
A label is present but appears partially concealed beneath the backing or matting, suggesting additional original identification may remain within the current framing.
The piece is vintage and framed under glass. The matting shows visible tearing, discoloration, adhesive marks, paper disturbance, and age-related wear. The frame has age-appropriate surface wear. These condition elements are visually significant and contribute to the piece’s dramatic, timeworn presentation.
Dimensions
Large framed format. Exact dimensions not provided.

Why It Belongs In Your Home
This is a piece for a room that can hold quiet drama. The figure is elegant without being decorative in the obvious sense, and the aged presentation gives it the feeling of something salvaged from an old theatre corridor or private ballet archive.
It belongs above a console, in a bedroom, dressing room, hallway, studio, or gallery wall where scale and mood matter. The appeal is in the contrast: softness and ruin, performance and stillness, refinement and decay.
Every piece is packed with professional-grade materials: multiple foam layers, double-boxing, directional and fragile handling labels. For large furniture we use custom timber crating. We photograph packing before dispatch and can provide images on request.

Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques.
