This stunning example of Theude Grønland's work is dated 1856 and is exquisitely detailed in both the flowers and insects. Grønland attended the Danish Royal Academy in Copenhagen between 1837 and 1839, exhibiting portraits there the following three years. In the early 1840’s he began to travel widely and focused on vibrant and lush still-lifes of flowers and fruits. He eventually settled in Paris in 1844, and married Simone Olympe Maréschal in 1848. His work was well respected in Paris and he received medals at both the Paris Salon and the Exposition Universelle. His paintings were popular both in France and England, with many of his larger canvases selling to English patrons and being translated into tapestries. In 1857 he earned a foreign membership to the Danish Royal Academy.
