As a young girl Agnes Rambusch went to a private school directed by the daughters of C. W. Eckersberg, Julie and Emilie, and at an early age she developed an interest in art and began attending art exhibitions. She received her training at The drawing- and arts and crafts school for women (Tegne- og Kunstindustriskolen for Kvinder) from 1878 until finishing in 1885. Hereafter she was a student of P.S. Krøyer until 1886 and after that of the artist Harald Slott-Møller. She married Harald Slott-Møller in 1888 and the couple went on a combined honeymoon and study tour to Italy and Paris in 1888–1889. Slott-Møller's interest in Danish myths and legends nurtured her circle of motifs and she also sought inspiration in medieval art, in the arts and crafts movement, and in the art of the preraphaelites. Using knights and maids as noble rolemodels she sought to create art to hold a mirror up to the present time.
