Gerda Wegener

Lili Elbe 1928


 Gerda met fellow artist Einar Wegener (later Lili Elbe) (1882–1931) at art school.

 They married in 1904, when Gerda was 19 and Einar was 22.

 They traveled through Italy and France, eventually settling in Paris in 1912.

 The couple immersed themselves in the Bohemian lifestyle of the time, befriending many artists, dancers, etc.

 The couple would often attend carnivals and other public festivals.

At the time, many considered Einar to be the more talented artist, but he toned down his own work and profile to help his wife in her artistic endeavors.

Einar posed for Gerda in women's clothes one day, filling in for an absentee model. 

She asked him to wear stockings and heels so his legs could substitute for those of the model, and soon he adopted the persona of "Lili Elbe".
