Eleanor Best trained at the Slade in London and was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers during the years when there was a revival of interest in both mezzotint and aquatint, evident in this work from around 1925.

Peter Ilsted's work (1908) is similar in style to the work of his brother in law Vilhelm Hammershøi. Together with Carl Holsøe, they were famous for their interiors and were leading members of the 'Free Exhibition,' a Danish progressive art society at the end of the 19thC.
