Carl Wentorf (April 25, 1863 - 1914) was a capable Danish genre and portrait painter. He studied at the Royal Academy in the 1880s and exhibited chiefly at the Charlottenborg seasonal shows. His works are found in good museums, such as Den Hirschsprungske and SMK.

Georg Seligmann (April 22, 1866 - 1924) was a Danish genre painter who had studied with P.S. Krøyer and Laurits Tuxen, after which he traveled extensively abroad, studying old masters (particularly Frans Hals).

He exhibited at Forårsudstillingen at Charlottenborg and later at Den Frie. He did quite a few architecture paintings and portraits, including a whole show of “Doctor portraits” (apparently he was hospitalized for long periods towards the end of his life).

He is represented at Den Hirschsprungske Samling and Statens Museum for Kunst, from where this canvas comes:
