Ida Marie Suhr (1853–1938) was a wealthy Danish philanthropist and estate owner.
[5] In connection with the royal couple, it is said that while visiting her in her Copenhagen residence, the king lit a cigarette.
[2] She used to arrive at Skagen in a large chauffeur-driven car which she also used to go to church each Sunday, sitting in the front row while her uniformed chauffeur sat at the back.
Deeply interested in the arts, in 1909 she presented an altarpiece by Joakim Skovgaard to Skagen Church.
[5][6] In return for her visits to Skagen, she invited several of the artists to stay with her at Petersgaard, where they could go hunting, or in Copenhagen.
