The Art Institute of Chicago's curator of European Paintings Emerson Bowyer has posted news on his Instagram Account that the museum has just acquired the following still life by Mélanie de Comoléra (1789–1854). Known as the pupil of Cornelis van Spaendonck, and an artist who also painted onto porcelain, this example was sold at auction last year with provenance suggesting it had been painted for Duchess of Clarence (later Queen Adelaide wife of William IV of England).
