Alhed Larsen was the daughter of Albrecht Christoffer Warberg, who managed the Erikshåb estate in the south of Funen.
He appears to have been a central figure for the Funen Painters, frequently acting as hostess. The estate became an early meeting place for the artists who later became known as the Fynboerne. The house was extended on several occasions, becoming one of the most beautiful artists" homes in the country.
When the Faaborg Museum was opened for the Funen Painters in 1910, Larsen and the other women received little attention being treated as amateur "flower painters" by members of the acquisitions committee.
