Formerly attributed to Simon Verelst, now attributed to van den Broeck by comparison with a signed still life in the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, which includes an almost identical central rose and peony. Of all his known still-life paintings, this one is closest to the work of his first teacher, Cornelis Kick, but there are also echoes of the work of Jan Davidsz. de Heem in the arrangement of small branches and flowers round the central motif. This indicates a fairly early date, about 1670, in the artist's career.
