Adolphe MAGAUD was a student of Simon Saint-Jean, a painter from the Lyon school, who won several medals and was present at the 1851 World's Fair. Like his master, Adolphe Magaud exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from 1840 to 1868, as well as at the Société des Amis des Arts in Lyon from 1839 to 1868.
The painter offers us a rich variety of flowers rendered with precision;
the composition is harmonious, delicate and luminous.
The representation of butterflies recalls the ephemeral beauty of nature.
