Eduard Frankfort, born in Meppel, studied at the academies of Amsterdam and Antwerp. His early oeuvre consists mainly of biblical scenes and depictions of Jewish religious life. Later, he also painted genre scenes, landscapes, and portraits. Frankfort’s work is characterized by a dark color palette and broad brushstrokes. After his studies, he lived in Amsterdam but also worked elsewhere in the Netherlands, such as in Drenthe and near Staphorst. He played an active role in the Amsterdam art scene and held important positions within Arti et Amicitiae. In 1909, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam dedicated an exhibition to his oeuvre, which was awarded several times.
