Elise Konstantin-Hansen (May 4, 1858 - 1946) was a Danish artist, whose father and brothers were also all artists. She was trained at home, and later by Tuxen and at a private Paris academy. In 1888 she entered the Academy’s Art School for Women, and from 1893 she exhibited regularly at Den Frie. She was also a prolific ceramics artist and late in life also became a writer. Her art focused on nature, esp. bird life.

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:
