Jan Davidsz. de Heem emigrated to the Southern Netherlands. Antwerp's attraction was probably the group of important still-life painters who lived and worked there, including Frans Snyders, Adriaen van Utrecht and Daniel Seghers. They were all in close contact with Rubens and made still-lifes as were not made in Holland - magnificent, spectacular and virtuosic. De Heem was inspired by their works as can be seen in this small, elegant panel.
