The photograph shows Nellie Farren. It was taken in a studio setting, which was a common practice for actors and actresses back then. They would often have photos taken in everyday dress or theatrical costume for 'cartes de visite' or 'cabinet cards'. You can learn more about this type of photography by looking into the work of Elliot & Fry.
