As the sister of the painter Johannes Larsen Christine Swane was included in a larger circle of performing artists.

Willumsen and Harald Giersing Around 1910 she married the painter Sigurd Swane but the marriage broke up in 1920. Unlike many other women in artist marriages of the time, Swane continued her career and development as an artist. In the beginning, her starting point was the naturalism experienced by the Fynbo painters, which can be seen in her early flower pictures.
