By the end of 1632 Marrel had settled in Utrecht but returned at intervals to his native Frankfurt where he died. This flower piece was painted a little over a year after he arrived in Utrecht. The central vase of flowers shows his response to the Bosschaert school which was active in the city. The large beetle, however, is a detail found more readily in the work of Georg Flegel with whom he had worked in Frankfurt.
