(1831–1921)
Virginia Granbery was born in Norfolk, Virginia, and her family moved to New York while she was still young. She studied at the Cooper Institute and the National Academy of Design. Although she painted portraits, landscapes, and animal pictures, she was principally known for her bright, crisp still lifes of fruit and flowers, which were widely distributed as chromolithographs by L. Prang & Co. She taught at the Packer Institute in Brooklyn from 1871 to 1882, and shared a studio with her sister, the still-life and landscape painter Henrietta Augusta Granbery.
