Adèle Reifenberg studied in Weimar (1911–1915), before immigrating to London with her artist husband Julius Rosenbaum and establishing a painting school. A joint exhibition of their work was held at Ben Uri in 1950. The sitter in the portrait is the artist's sister-in-law, Gabriele Tergit (pen name of Dr Elise Reifenberg), a well-known novelist and secretary of the London PEN-Center of German-language Authors Abroad, who was married to Reifenberg's brother the architect Heinz Reifenberg.
