Christiane Willemoes was the granddaughter of Christiane Dreyer (1753–1832), who married county administrator (amtsforvalter), chamber councillor (kammerråd) Christian Willemoes (1736–1818), the parents of naval hero Peter Willemoes (1783–1808). Christiane Elisabeth probably inherited the painting from her grandmother when she died in 1832.
