The anonymous painter of this canvas is referred to as the Master of the Stirling-Maxwell Collection, after a still-life in that collection. This notable practitioner of the still-life genre, active in the vicinity of Toledo and Madrid c. 1615-25, produced works strongly influenced by Sánchez Cotán and van der Hamen. His works feature strongly lit symmetrical arrangements with hanging fruits and foods.
