About Ulla Poulsen
" Ulla Poulsen" by Gerda Wegener is a famous painting of a ballerina dancer. In the early 1900s, Danish artist Gerda Wegener came up with a creative solution after her model was running late: She had her husband, landscape painter Einar Wegener, pose for her in stockings and heels instead. That brief experience stirred something inside of Einar, who, from then on, would start dressing up as a woman named Lili Elbe. In 1930, Lili became one of the first people to embark on sexual reassignment surgery. The film’s paintings weren’t exact replicas of Gerda’s work, however. “We had to adapt them slightly because they didn’t look like Eddie,” Stewart said. The original portrait of ballerina Ulla Poulsen, the one that changed Lili’s life forever, was also altered to resemble actress Amber Heard’s face.
