Siegwald Dahl was the son of the painter I.C. Dahl (1788–1857), by whom he was taught. In addition, he studied with the German landscape and animal painter Johan Friedrich Wilhelm Wegener (1788–1857). In 1851, he travelled to London to study with the famous animal painter Edwin Landseer (1802–1873). The present painting shows Dahl's talent as both a portrait and animal painter.
