Cameron made this portrait, suggestive of an antique cameo carved in high relief, in the year that her favorite niece and namesake, Julia Jackson, married Herbert Duckworth. Three years later, Jackson was a widow and the mother of three children. With her second husband, Sir Leslie Stephen, she had four additional children, including the painter Vanessa Bell and the writer Virginia Woolf.
