Auction director Johan Christian Fick (1788-1864). The Danish art collector Benjamin Wolff (1790-1866), his descendants until today. The two art collectors J. C. Fick and Benjamin Wolff were very good friends and knew I. C. Dahl personally. J. C. Fick was this painting's first owner and the brother-in-law and friend of Benjamin Wulff, the second owner of the painting. In 1825 Fick founded Kunstforeningen in Copenhagen in collaboration with among other the art historian N. L. Høyen, the architect G. F. Hetsch and the painters Eckersberg and J. P. Møller. Benjamin Wolff expanded his fortune as a merchant in the East Indies in the years 1817 to 1828. Back in Denmark he purchased the manor Engelholm in 1830 and later Grevensvænge at Mogenstrup. In 1832 he married Juliane Louise Sneedorff. I. C. Dahl visited Engelholm several times. Initially under the previous owner P. B. Petersen, and he stayed in the summer of 1814 at the manor. Dahl painted several works of the landscape around Engelholm including two now at the National Gallery of Denmark from respectively 1814 and 1816, and he improved his landscape paintings during this stay. In 1844 Dahl returned to Engelholm now under the new owner Benjamin Wolff - the two have probably known each other since the youth - in Wolff's drawing collection is a pencil sketch of Liselund on Møn from about 1814. Wolff himself has inscribed the drawing (in Danish): "The first sketch is by I. C. Fick, the rest is by Dahl" (Claus M. Smidt, ?Tegnekunst på Nivaagaard?, 1983, p. 5-11).
