CChristian Emil Rosenstand was a Danish-German genre and landscape painter, draftsman and etcher. From 1875 he studied at the Academy of Art in Copenhagen and at the age of 24 he exhibited his first oil painting. Later he specialized mainly in watercolours and illustrations for newspapers, including the Fliegende Blätter. Following a longer sojourn in Berlin, Rosenstand moved to Heidelberg and finally to Baden-Baden. After the end of World War I, the artist moved to Dresden, where he participated in numerous exhibitions. In addition to landscapes, his main motifs were genre-like depictions, social scenes and coffee house scenes.
