Atherton Curtis was a wealthy American living in France who made his fortune in medicine patents. The couple, who supported many artists, met Henry Ossawa Tanner in 1897 and became ardent supporters of his art. Tanner later used the composition of this portrait in a painting of Christ sitting down to dinner with Lazarus and his sister.
