Pineapple grown in Sir Matthew Decker's garden at Richmond, Surrey is a 1720 oil by Theodorus Netscher, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting shows a pineapple plant with a large, yellow fruit growing on it. The plant has long, green leaves that are spread out around the fruit. There are also some smaller plants and flowers around the base of the pineapple plant. The painting is very detailed and realistic, with lots of texture and shading. You can see the individual leaves and the ridges on the pineapple fruit. The background of the painting is dark and blurry, which makes the pineapple plant stand out even more. The painting is held at the Fitzwilliam Museum.
Theodorus Netscher (1661–1728; also called Theodor/Theodoor/de Fransche Netscher) was an 18th-century painter from the Dutch Republic.
