He often created impromptu paintings of butterflies for guests who toured his studio. One visitor described her experience at Bierstadt's studio: "We women were so glad we were women that afternoon for Mr. Bierstadt presented each lady with a souvenir. We all clustered about the table and he took out a palette a knife and some large slips of cartridge paper. Two or three daubs of pigment on the paper a quick fold and holding it still folded against a pane of glass he made two or three strokes of that wizard-like palette knife on the outside and hey presto! A wonderful Brazilian butterfly or moth even the veining on the wings complete!" The present Butterfly was kept in the collection of the artist and his second wife descending with their heirs for almost a century.Provenance: The artist's second wife Mrs. Mary Stewartby descent to her nephew and his wife Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Reed New Yorkby descent to their niece Ruth Reinhart Hurley CTEstate of Ruth Reinhart Hurley CTBerry Hill Galleries New Yorkacquired from the above by the present ownerReference: Quoted in Gordon Hendricks Albert Bierstadt: Painter of the American West 1986 p. 302)
