A studio portrait of Julia Warren standing before a backdrop of a outdoor scene. She wears a dark cap that is in the style of a Dutch women's hat of the time. She wears a light colored blouse with a lace collar and half-sleeves. A scarf pinned below the throat to look like a tie, and a dark, straight, wrap skirt with a flat panel down the front with large buttons, and finally boots that button up the sides.
