    That's his wife and her lover (psychologists: does this mean he was really happy she had fallen in love again or not?). Belle ( talk) 10:23, 20 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Alfvén's standing by the boat, looking very pensive- she's got a (quite attractive) self-satisfied smirk. Don't know who the other two are. There's some great character painting in this. Xanthomelanoussprog ( talk) 22:47, 20 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Did you mean the guy with the beard and the hat? That's Holger Drachmann with his wife Soffi. Krøyer probably wanted to singe him a bit too (beard envy). Belle ( talk) 22:54, 20 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Yes, that's him, with his weird right hand (assuming it is his hand!). Xanthomelanoussprog ( talk) 23:14, 20 October 2014 (UTC) reply
