ECA Notes:
This was initially thought to be either Emil Carlsen or his mother Ane Dorothea Raa [1813-1887] who studied painting privately with porcelain painter Johan Laurentz Jensen [1800-1856] of the Royal Copenhagen porcelain factory.  But, recently it has been revealed to be Carl Peter August Schlichting-Carlsen [1852-1903] who also worked at the Royal Copenhagen porcelain factory.  It is unclear if he learned from Jensen or was influenced by him as he was the most significant flower painter of Denmark at that time.
