For this work the artist, then aged 15, was awarded the Society's prize of five guineas in 1759, the first premium in its class. On the recommendation of the responsible Committee, 'as a further reward for...her Extraordinary Merit' she received a Silver Medal. The flowerpiece was shown in the first ever public exhibition of contemporary British painters and sculptors held in the Great Room of the Society's premises (in Denmark Court, off the Strand) in 1760. Mary Moser (1744-1819) continued to develop her skill and reputation as a flower painter in her later career. The major surviving example of her work in this genre is a room decorated for Queen Charlotte at Frogmore. She was the daughter of the medallist George Michael Moser, who was to become a founder and the first Keeper of the Royal Academy. She was also a foundation member of the Academy and one of the two original women Academicians, the other being Angelica Kauffman.
