Viggo Lachmann (1864–1928) married Engel Cathrine Saxild (1885–1966) on 2 July 1909, she was the daughter of master baker Saxild in Skagen. She was a real Skagen girl and best friend with Helga Ancher (1883–1964) and several times used as a model by both Anna (1859–1935) and Michael Ancher (1849–1927). As the date indicates, the painting has probably been a wedding present.
