This panel is one of the ten still-lifes painted by Dirck de Bray. Some of these still-lifes have a Catholic explanation. This painting depicts a combination of symbols representing the Virgin Mary: the rose, rosary and rosemary (whose name derives from the Virgin), the thurible and the crown.
This Catholic interpretation is far from odd: Dirck de Bray belonged to a Catholic family of artists.
