This photograph has been identified as taken by Benedicte Wrensted. Anthropologist Joanna Scherer, who was working on the Smithsonian Institution's Handbook of North American Indians Project, identified Wrensted's work.
Wrensted's photography studio was located in Pocatello, Idaho. She learned photography from her aunt in Denmark in the 1880s and had a studio in Horsens, Denmark, for about four years. Wrensted came to the United States from Denmark in 1894, moved to Pocatello, and purchased the studio of A.B. Hower in 1895. She continued to photograph members of the local community and Native Americans until 1912, when she moved to California.
