Ange Louis Guillaume Lecourd-Beauregard was a painter of still lifes and flower and fruit pieces. He received his training from the Dutch flower still life painters Gerard (1746-1822) and Cornelis (1756-1840) van Spaendonck, who lived and worked in Paris. He proved to be an excellent student, eventually becoming professor of botanical drawing at the Musée National d'Histoire Naturelle in the French capital. He was the successor of perhaps the most famous flower still life painter in France: Pierre-Joseph Redouté (also a pupil of Gerard van Spaendonck). From 1822 to 1869, Leourd-Beauregard exhibited regularly at the Paris Salons, where he received several awards.
