Born in Wittenberg, Germany, Adelheid Dietrich became known for her complex, highly colorful and realistic floral still life paintings of which about fifty have been found in collections. Her teacher was her father, painter Eduard Dietrich (1803-1877). Her style was that of the seventeenth-century Dutch still-life painters.
