Antonina Florinsky's husband and son both served in the White Army during the Russian Civil War and died in the service. Natasha married a Dane in Arkhangelsk, and they had a son in 1918. Antonina Florinsky fled to Denmark in 1920, where she was reunited with her daughter and grandson, who had also fled from Russia. Antonina Florinsky travelled with an East Asiatic Company ship from Arkhangelsk and had the opportunity to bring parts of her Russian belongings, including the present painting.
